Back to normal portraits, here is Aussie swimming star Mollie O'Callaghan, queen of her domain, sitting by the pool.

Very nice, I think Mollie would approve of this portrait

Tas and Issa - thank you.

Sir Mick Jagger - saw him on TV in the crowd at the recent FIFA World Cup, so I resurrected him from my archives and framed him.

Nice portrait OMG.
I did a Mick Jagger portrait,
back in the day using pencil.
It came out pretty good.
Sadly it has become lost somewhere along the way.

Thanks Wallace.

This one has been a while coming but finished at last. Here is my portrait of Madison de Rozario, an Australian Paralympic athlete and wheelchair racer, who specialises in middle and long-distance events. Starting at 14 years old, she has competed at the 2008 Beijing, 2012 London, 2016 Rio, 2020 Tokyo and 2024 Paris Olympics, winning two gold, four silver and two bronze medals. I believe she is also a 'disability advocate'.

This image shows Madison celebrating at the stadium fence after another successful performance.

Excellent outcome, OMG. I enjoy and celebrate your creations. Much work invested in each one and much personal art.
