This is a portrait of my friend Maggie, done in my third year at art school. It was originally a 5' by 4' 'standard' portrait of her (This was 1987 and i had a huge crush on her at the time) but it was boring. I cut it up, added the broken chair (she'd just had an operation on her leg) and repainted it over three canvasses. A serious influence from Howard Hodgkin, too.

Okay - I meant to comment on this in an earlier post but I got distracted and my pea brain completely forgot about it.
You write AND you paint. Right.

Ha!
But I can't make a living from either one!
Oh she most certainly does, aims. Her art is wonderful. Her birthday cars are fabulous, but I can never throw them away. The Christmas cards I've had over the years come out each Christmas!
Great to see some of your work on here for a change.

Thank you Gina.
Sue informed me that I gave her "sansuriel" for Christmas last year ;)
