Issabella - thank you.

Here are a couple of related portraits of two of my favourite fantasy characters from the movies, one with which I probably took some extra licence and embellished it somewhat. The other is more true to form.

Loving the jewellery too especially the earrings.

Ella - thank you very much for your kind words. Here is another fantasy portrait of a Singapore Eurasian lady and I should have another 'outcome' to post here before Christmas.

Richie Benaud I didn't know, but Basil Fawlty (John Cleese) I certainly know.
"Fawlty towers" a very well known series.
Well done, OMG :bigthup

Ella - thank you; sorry for delay in responding ... I was somewhat pot and bowl focussed :roll:

Something a bit different by way of a sketch portrait of Princess Di.

Now that she is no longer the German Chancellor, I presume it is OK to post Angela Merkel.

Very good, OMG.

Diego - thanks. Here is my portrait of Nyima McNamara an Australian indigenous model. I should perhaps call this one 'red ochre dreaming' in the spirit of her indigenous background.
