AN artist who tragically lost his wife seven years ago is getting married today after finding his “lockdown love” on a dating website.
Philip Dunn was devastated when his wife of almost 35 years, Carole-Anne White, took her own life in 2013 after many years of battling severe depression.
At the time, Philip said he was finding it “almost impossible” to carry on after his loss.
The 75-year-old artist, who is well known for his vibrant paintings of Brighton seafront and colourful striped deckchairs, moved out of the city to Ditchling in 2010.

Since Carole’s death Philip has been running his Window Gallery shop and picture-framing business on his own, and “almost lost the will to paint”.
