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.
