Kim Douglas Harrison, Local Artist (Norwich Gazette, circa 1981)
Kim is a wee bit older now but still has many projects underway.

While looking for Part 2 of a story (chiefly about bluebirds) by Doug Harrison, regular contributor to The Norwich Gazette in the 1980s and '90s, I came across this story by Ms. S. Hanson about my younger brother. I'm glad I found it. Now I know he did better at university than I did (but I became a teacher before he did).
Caption with above photograph:
Kim retired to a certain degree from being a full-time artist and art instructor just a few years ago but likely has a longer list of projects to start/complete than ever. More than me, I suspect, but I retired before he did : )
Kim, laughing at how I flip burgers over my head and onto the bun.
In my spare time I will try to set up a proper photographic table so that I can stitch other Gazette columns together in a more professional manner. (But don't hold yer breath).

This article was a real blast from the past. As the author of the article about artist Kim Harrison, it was a pleasure to read the story again and to know what Kim is up to today. My job as editor of the Gazette seems like a lifetime away now. It was definitely one of my favourite jobs.

Thank you for your comment, Suzanne. There were items you mentioned I did not know about my brother, i.e., re some of his part-time work. He is certainly still driven or passionate about his portrait and landscape oil painting and keeps a pretty active schedule. Good for him, I say.
I came across one of his paintings auctioned at Waddingtons in December 2021. Gorgeous work and very fine drawing technique. Wish him all the best

Thank you for your comment, Rusty. Kim D. H. is still enjoying semi-retirement, though always has something on the go, re painting. GH
