Ah, I recognise Lola and she's actually a rather beautiful lady. I take back my last comment when I was a bit unkind about her looks. It was her expression last time, here she looks stunning. Such a good painting of her as well!

No wonder she looks so pleased with herself Michael. The pursed lips are superb.
