Most of you wouldn't recognize the name in the title, but he is the Newfoundland artist who is responsible for the bird paintings used for Canada's 1969 wildlife series. He is a relative of my late wife, a Budgell from Grand Falls Newfoundland. Cathy told me a story years ago about Glen's brother visiting the house, probably in the early 1970s or mid 1960s, and Cathy asked if she could have a sketch if he had one he didn't need. It was a very innocent request by a young girl since his sketches were very expensive even then. In the mail a few weeks after, a tube arrived containing a beautiful working signed pencil sketch of a crow. He is still considered to be a major Canadian artist and I thought this would make an interesting story with a stamp connection. A young girl's innocent request really meant something to him and the sketch still graces my wall! Most people would probably ignored the request, but I guess Newfoundlanders aren't like that!
