ARTIST PASSES:
With the passing of Lowell Brown Jr., on Thursday of last week Grand Manan lost one of it's most promising painters. Interested in this work from his younger days Lowell studied under the late Wesley Griffin, well known artist, and later attended art school in the United States. His work showed great promise. He had shown pictures in the Toronto Art Exhibit and had planned showing at the Beaverbrook exhibition in Fredericton this fall. In poor health for the last few years, his condition did not permit him to paint to the extent he would have liked. A vetran of World War 2 with overseas service he took advantage on his off hours to visit the well known art galleries while in Europe and study the style of famous painters. Employed as assistant Postmaster at the North head Post Office, he was a member of Grand Manan Branch No. 44 Canadian Legion and Oddfellows Lodge. He will be missed not only by the Island people but by scores of tourists who came to know him through his painting and friendly manner.
