My father, Len Bower, who has died aged 100, was an art lecturer and artist who had a striking ability to draw and paint anything, from slick cartoons to stylised landscape. He also showed equal ease in words and music.
Born in Leeds to Hettie (nee Berry) and Herbert Bower, a tailor, as a six year old Len could play hymns by ear and improvise on the piano. He also showed early ability in art and music at Leeds Central school.
