713 views on 22nd January 2011 I can’t remember where I found the reference photo for this one, but simply had to have a go at capturing that gentle expression. Charcoal on smooth surface paper card 200 gsm. 16X12 inches. If anyone recognises it, please let me know.
Fantastic charcoal portrait of this simian star. Lots of character and intelligence, in the expression , you’ve depicted, Margaret. A certain fave. Hope you are ‘enjoying’ the snow and ice out, there in Geordieland.
I’ve been falling on the ice Colin! Off to hospital in the morning for an op on my broken wrist. I’ll be out of action for a while. Thanks for the kind comment. I do appreciate it!

Oh No!!!! How to put my steel-capped, boot-covered foot in it!! Sorry, Margaret. Not your painting hand? Hope it goes well, tomorrow. Drink plenty of port, over Xmas, get your healing going!
Yes, Colin, my painting hand! Also my bread buttering hand,parcel wrapping hand, etc. Hope the port goes well with the pain killers!
