Hope everyone had a good Christmas! Mine was nice and quiet with lots of food, just the way I like it!
Haven't done a great deal since Christmas, just chilled, eaten and enjoyed being off work! Although I have today just finished my latest portrait which is of the late great Ms Amy Winehouse. I've wanted to do a portrait of Amy Winehouse for years as she had the most fascinating face (from an artistic point of view) but I never got round to doing it, and I didn't want to do one round the time she passed away as I didn't want to give the impression that that was the reason that I was doing it, because she had died.
Anyway, here she is....
"You don't owe nothing to me, but to walk away, I have no capacity"
She really was a stunning looking woman before her unfortunate lifestyle took hold (no disrespect meant, I still think se was beautiful right up til the end, but obviously there's only so much a body can take).
I'm really looking forward to doing my next portrait of the immense Mr Clive Barker! So watch this space!
Well now, everyone have a good New Year's Eve and stay safe!
