The Art and Life of Leslie Winchcombe

A blogspot set up as a memorial to my late husband who sadly lost his battle with cancer in June 2008. A superb naturally talented artist with no formal art training of any kind, he was renowned all through the 1960's & 1970's in publications, television and press, Its my aim to bring his work back to the fore again & to share it with other people. Please feel free to contact me through the blogspot or my website www.wildlifeetchings@yahoo.co.uk.

Hi, its been a while since Ive been on here, Les's work is currently on sale in Marlborough, Wiltshire where I hope that it will generate some interest, he used to have work displayed here before, so it was only fitting that I secured a small area within a craft environment to redisplay it. Have been getting some more of our photos and albums up together and added a few to this blog, Ryan & Becky's baby (Riley) due any day now also and Ryan due to collect his Duke of Edinburgh award from the Palace tomorrow, They make me so very proud.

Hi, last week our local paper, the Andover Advertiser did a feature on Leslie's artwork, it certainly seemed to bring it to peoples attention and i received a lot of very positive feedback from it, I really hope that this is the start of it taking off.
