Karel has lost his roots in Belgium and can't make any here.

Your comments
"Karel Lek has always been part of the Tudor Rose & Beaumaris for me, he gave me a print when I left for New Zealand and his work is still as good as ever."
Sherida Lee."Just bought one of his paintings at Oriel Tegfryn, Menai Bridge. I admire his style of painting. Hope to be able to buy some more of his work."
