portrait of kate

[saundra]

do you like it
i think its good not all smillie
but it seems to have a very mixed reaction
i think the background is to dark/dull

[JoM]

I actually think it's very good, if a little dark.

[Kaz]

I've not seen it yet - off to have a look >>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Kaz]

Oh dear He's put weight on her face, and she looks forty rather than thirty It hasn't done her justice, as she is very beautiful

[Kaz]

Here it is, in case you haven't seen it

[Fugitive]

It is a bit photographic and not like an actual painting and makes her look older-more like her mother's age than a young woman. The artist admitted he found it very hard to get right with only three live sittings and then he worked from dozens of photographs of her and I think this shows in the result. She seems to like it but who knows? Behind closed doors she may well have shrieked 'I hate it!'

[tonicha]

I agree Fugi.

It does make her look very old and not as pretty as in real life.

[Workingman]

I thought that it was Penelope Keith!
