I caught up with an Imagine - TV programme - by Alan Yentob yesterday about this wonderful artist. I hadn't heard of her but what a superb portrait painter she was and such a bubbly character. The documentary was ruined by the producer, her inexperienced son. It rambled, had many unconnected sections, too close up interviews and the sequences actually showing her painting were superb but too short. Anyone else catch it?
I saw the documentary Derek. I'd not heard of her either but she was a remarkable woman and a wonderful painter.
Yes I saw it too - very impressive. I'm now wondering if I published my life story, I toad become a famous painter! LOL
I really like her work. I think some of it is on show in America after the fall at the Royal Academy on till 4th june
