Cyril Mann – the early yearsand Canada.
No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.
Harold MacMillan
In many of my blogs I have related the story of a husband and wife who had both been artists but after the marriage and after the birth of the children one has had to give up their career as an artist to look after their spouse and children and that caring role always seems to land at the feet of the wife, who then dedicates her life to her artist husband or partner. The next few blogs are going to look at the lives of a great British artist and the support and love he received from his young wife which allowed him to become a well-known painter. This is not simply a tale about an artist, it is about the resilience of his young wife and how she battled his moods and supported him through times of his severe depression. Please settle back and join me as I explore the lives of the English artist Cyril Mann and his beautiful young wife, Renske.

Paul Lauritz
Norwegian-born American painter
Paul Lauritz (18 April 1889 - 31 October 1975) was a Norwegian-born American oil painter and art teacher. [1]
Biography

His initial art training came at age 14 when he attended a local art academy, spending two years drawing and getting some informal instruction from an English watercolorist. Because none were available to him he made his own oil pigments, a technique he used for many years. [2][3]
He emigrated to eastern Canada at age 16 to live with relatives, working his way west to Nelson, BC, where his older brother Martin had established himself as a successful butcher. Here he tried hard rock mining and hunting, even travelling as far as northern Alberta. He also found time to paint, later exhibiting a work done at Nelson called "Kootenay Landing" in a show in Portland in 1914.[4][5]
Lauritz arrived in Portland, Oregon, in 1907 and worked as a painter in a paint store, eventually forming the Pacific Sign Company with his brother Ludvig.[6] He married Mary Potterton, a Portland bookkeeper, in 1912. [7] Interest in continuing his fin
