I'm a great admirer of Laura Knights work, and didn't know this painting. Excellent work John.

Love Laura Knight’s work but haven’t seen this portrait. Such an expressive, strong, portrait John.

I hadn’t seen this either, a good portrait John. I remember a blonde who used to tear up phone books….but am I getting confused with “ Yana”?

A superb portrait John, capturing Joan’s femininity beautifully. Very intense and passionate.

This oil on mixed media paper after a portrait by Laura Knight of Joan Rhodes who featured in variety and on TV, tearing up telephone directories and bending iron bars. The emphasis in the portrait was to express femininity and not her physical strength. The difficulty in copying and artist work is knowing the palette of colours used, also of finding a really good reference file.
