This portrait of my grandfather, John Benjamin Windross, a proud Manxman, reflects much about him — even in his 90s, always impeccably dressed
in a three-piece suit complete with pocket watch, and never without his pipe or a twinkle in his eye. He entertained us grandkids with ditties, jokes and riddles, and an endless supply of jellybeans.


Cotton buckram, cheesecloth
