Description

'Janice hated those brooding yew trees which cast such a gloom over the ancient cottage. The locals wouldn't help, but she decided to ignore the old man's warning. Besides, the young man who offered was very dishy.'

Text story 'A Hateful Place' by Roderick Grant from Mayfair Magazine Volume 19, #12, December 1984.

Mel sez;

"HI Ben, You are right.
It was a painting for a story in a �Mens� magazine. It was either MAYFAIR or MEN ONLY. I cant remember which.
All the best,
Mel. "

If its from a mens magazine, its humps, not stumps. Lol. Sorry, could not resist it. Lots of excellent artists did work for them. I know Mick Austin did some amazing work in mens magazines. One was about a rock star who is horrible to a fan. Wish I owned that one.

And I know the ghosts to riches
And I know the monks to frames
I know all art rules and then I know how to paint 'em
And I always know the name Melvyn Grant

But I don't know where it was used
And I'll Nineteen Eighty Four
Go behind the stump to do it
Making love out of nothing at all
