Talented Pensioner decorates council flat like Sistine Chaple
A talented OAP has spent 40 years hand-painting her own version of the Sistine chapel - in her council flat. Diana Keys has coated her home in Hemel Hempstead, Herts, with masterpieces inspired by the Italian Renaissance. From stallions roaming the forest to cherubs floating in the heavens, the 70-year-old has covered magnolia walls with fairy-tale scenes - with her bare hands. She said: "I want to share my work because I'm 70 and I have put a lot of work into it and I don't know how much longer I will be alive. "It's taken me 40 years to do what I have done and the council will just cover it up when I go to heaven.
