Jack Vettriano

Jack Vettriano
--
Nineteen fifty one year of birth
very much down to earth.
Breazy seaside town Methil, Fife
a miners cottage, poverty rife.

Delivering papers, milk,
customers often bilk.
Windows cleaned potatoes picked
his father quite stricked.

Half the money his father took
not much for Jacks bank book.
Watercolours a girlfriend brought
painting, Jack self taught.

Jack copying Monet's poppy field
artistic talent revealed.
Portfolio rejected at art university
a little more adversity.

At the Royal Scottish Academy
two paintings sold with alacrity.
This Scottish talent on his way
his paintings somewhat risqué.
