The Secret Painter by Joe Tucker

The Secret Painter by Joe TuckerJoe Tucker's Uncle Eric was a beloved yet unconventional figure throughout Joe's life. A shambolically dressed man who lived with his mother for almost eighty years, he had an almost compulsive need to charm strangers with working men's club comedy routines, and appeared to exist only for daily trips to the bookie and yet had also amassed over five hundred of his own remarkable paintings without anyone ever realising his achievements.
