You have portrayed the essence of this woman so expressively with great use of colour, brushstrokes and originality Michael.

Did she actually exist? I can't find any reference to her online.

Super!

Thanks Denise, Janet, Carole, Peter and Collette. If she does Peter I’m in for a hefty slander claim😂😂

Love it Michael. Real raunchy portrayal. Watercolour portraits are so challenging.
