Portrait in ink

Comments

Love it. I know who it is, but the name escapes me at the moment. They have been trailing a TV program about this artist...hope I haven't missed it.

Superb skill here as ever, Gudrun

Thank you all for your appreciation. Lewis, you can find it on BBC iPlayer. Superb documentary.

Super - recognise Maggi Hambling anywhere.

I don't know the lady (I live in Belgium!) but this is a super portrait, Gudrun, in your so personal style.

Gudrun this is fantastic, I just love this lady’s face and pose....superb!

Gudrun, I saw a documentary about her some time ago, but perhaps there is a new one out. I will have a look for it, thanks.

Diane, it's on BBC iPlayer Making Love with the Paint.
