"This portrait was painted during his retirement year and the background features Barnsley
cricket ground. The portrait and its process was featured in BBC's 40 minutes. The portrait
was later exhibited at The Cooper Gallery and received a lotof coverage.Dickie was very
pleased with the portrait and said he was "over the moon" with how it had turned out.
Although the background is of the Barnsley cricket ground, Dickie actually sat for the portrait in
his garden!"
