After rekindling an interest in painting during the Covid lockdowns, a 92-year-old great-grandad is enjoying a late-in-life career as a landscape artist.
Robert Rose, who has never received any formal art training, turned out about 50 works, inspired by his love of walking near his native Wantage in Oxfordshire.
A TikTok video posted by his granddaughter, showing his efforts to a global audience, racked up more than two millions views.
Mr Rose recalled how he had enjoyed painting "strictly as a hobby", until the pandemic struck in 2020.
"I was captured in my own home so decided to produce some paintings - it kept me sane," he said.
