Memories of A Painter

I used to go to Keswick quite a lot as a child, to visit my great-uncle, David Dickson. He was born in North-Shields, but lived in Keswick for a good number of years, from about 1928-1967until he died. He used to paint pictures in water colour, I think he must have painted all the lakes in the Lake District. His paintings were so good that some of them ended up in Keswick Art Gallery. This would have been around 1930, up until he died in 1967. He lived in a cottage in a little road off the main street of Keswick. Does anyone remember Mr David Dickson? If so I would love to hear from you.
Thankyou.
