Kind of a heartwarming story.

That's a very nice story, Iain. It's great that a shy artist's work will finally be seen by others. It's only too bad that he isn't around any more to see his work in a show.

Art is saved! Woo! Great story! In some ways it reminds me a little of Darger's story after he died because it was his landlord that discovered all his artwork, which could have easily been trashed.
