<strong>Thoughts</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Watercolour</strong> <strong>Artist</strong><br />
Publishers note<br />
The following pages take us on a whistle-stop tour <strong>of</strong> the life <strong>of</strong> Brian D. Powell.<br />
Innovator, thinker, inventor and creative, here's a story <strong>of</strong> how our schoolboy (brought up by the<br />
River Ouse) became a prolific artist, while still finding the time 'in between' to help one or two<br />
others along the way, in quite a dramatic fashion.<br />
With a 30 year career in the Public Services, Brian, like most <strong>of</strong> us witnessed the good and the<br />
not so good <strong>of</strong> human kind. He witnessed some comedic situations and with a ready smile he<br />
made himself available on many occasion to help prevent or suppress some major threat to life.<br />
The inventive work <strong>of</strong> Brian D. Powell in the world <strong>of</strong> Fire Prevention, providing cutting edge<br />
solutions based on practical know-how was (and continues to be) an influence on peers today.<br />
Brian is a man who considers others first, he is not afraid <strong>of</strong> the consequences <strong>of</strong> his actions and<br />
by being accountable he has saved the livelihood <strong>of</strong> many. Brian has even managed to make<br />
some rich men even richer without asking or seeking any recognition for the innovation which he<br />
alone introduced to the modern world.<br />
Brian D. Powell took the time to seize the value <strong>of</strong> the 'light bulb moment' while others simply<br />
stood by. Amongst the following pages you will find a thinker, a colourful character who each <strong>of</strong><br />
us should be recognising as an example for future generations.
