Hi Smudge!
That Lovely Portrait of Marilyn is a gift from me to Bryan.
It was done by a young alumni of Newcastle College, from Bryans hometown, named Barry Jones.
I think it captures the Very Essence of Marilyns' personality, her true self
A Sweet, Radiant Innocence,
And when I saw his beautiful artwork, and this portrait,
I was just Struck by the way he seemed to capture her.....
And I know that Bryan has some photos of Marilyn hanging on his wall at Studio One.
I know he will love it, and I am sure he remembers what it was like when he was a young art student.
Anyway, I showed JOB and could not figure out how to add it in his message, but I did know how to post it here.
I thought the Mouth of Tyne Festival post would be the best one, as I will be going to the festival and that is where the artist is from...
