She Ain't No Oil Painting.

oh dear.
Here is me reading about welfare cutbacks , public sector pay freezes and the general state of things in the world at the moment and then I saw this.

Guess they should have tried Rolf Harris , couple of gallons of paint from B&Q and he could have knocked something up for them.

So funny ...different world they live in , isn't it ?

It was commissioned by the national portrait gallery - they are paying it.

Think it's very like her except, the left eye appears not to be focussed on the same point as the right! Does she have a squint?

I think it's very well executed and quite a likeness but it is ageing and not terribly flattering.

[anneasquith]

alas............ the first of many for us to judge/debate. not very flattering though.

It looks haunted to me, I kept expecting her to wink!

Looks a bit like the girl that now does the film programme on the beeb

[Georgiesmum]

We both liked it.

[BlueToffee]

Looks like she's sucking an acid drop!

Portraits are a bit like Marmite, you either like it or hate it - few are indifferent, that in itself is good.
