Portrait Artist Of The Year

Did anyone watch this 5 Part Mini Series which was won by Nick Lord from Cardiff. His winning painting of Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry VC was superb. See Link below...

Bugger, just downloaded it to watch later, no matter. What a great show it was though, me and my daughter really enjoyed it, Nick Lord is certainly a worthy winner as would any of them been.

i like that of Johnson Beharry, don't like the one of Kate Middleton, irrespective of who she is.

Sorry rockyracoon if I have spoilt things a little for you, still worth watching though

No worries Red, it's my fault for coming on a thread when I haven't watched the episode, I'm still looking forward to watching it. Hope they do another series next year. :)

If someone painted an imagined picture of me posing like that while pregnant, I would be fuming.
