We got Julie writing to us from the UK she has inherited a beautiful horse on velvet painting she says -

"The painting belonged to my late Grand Father Eric Bellamy who lived in Grantham. My grandad was born in  26th March 1921 at Sproxton, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire as a child I always remember the painting being above the fire place at their home at Cornwall Close in Grantham. 

My grandad loved horse racing and horses. As a child Grand National day was always a day of great excitement as I would get a phone call from my grandad to choose which horse I wanted for the national and he would put a bet on for me. We had some winners West Tip and Bob Champions Old Aldaniti being some of the horses that had won.  The painting was given as a present to my grandad by my nan Betty Bellamy who still lives in Grantham today. Unfortunately my Nan suffered a Stroke in August 2012 and when her flat was cleaned out the painting was given to me. I love the painting as I have a love of horses, but more importantly it reminds me of my nan and grandad and the happy times we shared at their home as a child. As my nan will be 90 in August this year and is currently in a nursing home, my mum is going to try and find out where she got the painting from."
