Here is one of Nicole Kidman who 'glamoured down' significantly to play Erin Bell, a somewhat beleaguered and dishevelled LA Detective in the recent movie Destroyer.

OMG, I didn't know Nicole Kidman's role, Erin Bell, and just looked up the picture. Very well done

Princess Burgundy, a fairy tale appearance, I like it.

Excellent results OMG. I like them a lot. Go on please. I enjoy so much seeing your results.

Ella, Diego and Issabella - thank you.

Issabella - you asked me to 'please go on', so I have tried to 'move on' and here is my first attempt at a full body portrait. Hope you like it.

[Issabella]

I love it, OMG. Thanks for sharing your beautiful results. Your progression and your artistic talent make such awesome results.

[oldmangrumpy]

Here is a sketch portrait of Sir Robert (Bob) Menzies, founder of the Australian Liberal Party and longest serving prime minister of Australia, with 18 years ending in 1966.

A sketch portrait of Georgie Best in his younger days, around 1968, when I went to London to see him play just before I emigrated to Australia. Georgie was one of a kind, voted European Footballer of The Year in 1968 and he came 6th in the Player of The Century vote. In our youth we all need sporting heroes to look up to - he was one of mine; shame he went off the rails somewhat in later life.
