Brown Eyes

-
My latest painting is in the last stages...perhaps a tiny adjustment here or there, but it is pretty much finished.

Roses
Oil on canvas, 50x40cm

Through the crowds I managed to have a good look around and found myself amazed at the evocative paintings on display. I had so many favourites I could not show them all. There was an impressive collection of portraits of the Queen, to celebrate her jubilee, and of course the celebs were not lacking in presence either.
