Dennis Roy Hodds also known as Roy Hodds (1933–1987) was an Impressionist painter predominantly during the 1960s and 1970s. Hodds initially used water colour but resided to oil paint on board. Hodds painted a range of subjects including harbour and beach scenes, fishing boats, steam drifters, landscapes and cityscapes around Norfolk and was well known for his free flowing style and exceptional use of colour. == Biography == Dennis Roy Hodds was born on 8 May 1933 in 10 Fullers Hill, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. He was the son of Lily May Hodds. Unfortunately nothing is known about Hodds’ father and his mother died at the young age of 33. Dennis was 8 years of age and was cared for by his aunt Tilly in Belton, Norfolk and later settled in Gorleston, Norfolk. Hodds studied at the Lowestoft College of Art after winning a scholarship at the age of twelve. He married Dorothy May Hodds (née Knobbs) in March 1955 and went on to father four children. Hodds worked for the Great Yarmouth Borough Council as a painter and interior decorator but was forced to retire due to ill health. He spent his later life sketching and painting Norfolk scenery and much of his paintings have been exhibited all over East Anglia. Hodds died in the Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge of heart failure after a string of illnesses. After Hodd’s died the Great Yarmouth Guild of Artists and Craftsmen set up an annual competition in his memory. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dennis Roy Hodds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
