RIP Artist & Author Keith Blackburn 1943 to 2018
Posted: 09 Nov 2018 21:14
We would like to acknowledge our good friend artist & author Keith Blackburn, whose fine body of work was both as impressive as it was extensive, his drawings and paintings are to be found on a number of posts to the Oracle forum. Keith was born and raised in Wakefield in West Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. He spent various periods living and painting in London, Durham and Newlyn in Cornwall, as well as a long spell in Amsterdam in the Netherlands.
Sadly aafter a battle with cancer, Keith passed away recently and he will be missed by so many people. We attended his funeral and cremation ceremony today the 9th of November. As ever the number 9 comes into play in our lives but today in a more melanchonic fashion, however we should celebrate what was a truly driven prolifically creative life in tandem.
