Black velvet band

Good times Michael. This is just lovely.

......her eyes they shown like diamonds, I thought her the Queen of the land and her hair it hung over her shoulder tied up with a black velvet band. Beautiful Michael! You’re a lucky man.

Thanks Kal. All I have left now in my dying throes is my memories. Thanks Fiona. Nearly the same girl but this one had a Cockney accent, her eyes 'shone' like diamonds and her hair was tied 'up' most of the time. But hey! Don't listen to me! Cos this wasn't meant to be no sad song We've heard too much of that before Right now I only want to be here with you Till the morning dew comes falling I want to take you to the island......... By the way, her name was Dolores.

A truly beautiful story, can it be adapted for television, did she have a bad hair day when you painted her, : -)

Her hair was often untidy Linda.

And the Dubliners were playing softly in the background as she gently poured you a foaming pint of Guinness without spilling a drop Michael..(-:

The Dubliners were on tour in Blackpool that Summer Jim but I had no time for drinking.

You have plenty of style Michael

Thanks Dennis.

What can I say, l like it Michael. No the words are, tied up with a black lastic band. Lol

Black elastic John. Those were the days. Also Dolores Keane, The Island.

It's the way you tell 'em Michael! She does have a long neck but her lips look wonderful!!!!

Yes they were Margaret, voluptuous. She was a grand kisser. I think it had something to do with her playing the trumpet in factory band.

Goodness Fiona, the bug is catching! Linda - how cruel😁. She tried to find you Mick, but having never heard of Durham, she thought it was on another planet and, alas, she couldn't afford the rocket fare. By the way, she married that bus inspector and they had 10 beautiful children😊.

I'm pleased for them Adele. She stayed active then?

Very active Mick!!!

What a life you've had Michael! Another lady that you've left distraught. Wot r u like!! ..this is a really good portrait. Her hair is gorgeous!

Thanks Louise.

I've enjoyed looking at the portrait and reading the comments!

Thanks Maureen.

Marvellous Michael ...

Thanks Gudrun.
