HUGH GRANT - PICTURES OF HUGH'S CHILDHOOD ON DISPLAY

PICTURES OF HUGH'S CHILDHOOD ON DISPLAY

Watercolour paintings depicting touching holiday scenes from HUGH GRANT's childhood have gone up for sale at a London gallery. Over 200 pictures painted by the NOTTING HILL actor's dad JAMES have gone on show as a tribute to his mother FYNVOLA, who died of cancer in 2001. The LOVE ACTUALLY star personally organised the show and all proceeds will go to charity - with prices ranging from GBP275 ($495) to GBP450 ($810). Grant senior says, "Back in those days, when we were really strapped for cash, we spent three or four weeks every summer down in Cornwall and painting became a hobby - a way of relaxing after I'd built sandcastles with the boys."
