I have a break from the studio and the garden today as my wife and I visit our son, Tom, and his partner, Di, in their new house in The Gap. My job: to hang the pictures, a task I love. There are a number of Raymonds to go up, both of mine and my Mum, Margaret’s.

Paintings hanging on the wall hold such power. The colours of the works to be hung today are vibrant and full of life. They will lift the room.
