Pictures of Hugh Grant's Childhood on Display  9/11/06

Watercolor paintings depicting touching holiday scenes from Hugh Grant's childhood have gone up for sale at a London gallery.

Over 200 pictures painted by the Notting Hill actor's dad James have gone on show as a tribute to his mother Fynvola, who died of cancer in 2001.

The Love Actually star personally organized the show and all proceeds will go to charity - with prices ranging from #275 ($495) to #450 ($810).

Grant senior says, "Back in those days, when we were really strapped for cash, we spent three or four weeks every summer down in Cornwall and painting became a hobby - a way of relaxing after I'd built sandcastles with the boys."
