Clare Balding
(14"x11" wax pastel)
I thoroughly enjoy watching the British portrait painting show Sky Arts 'Portrait Artist of the Year.'
Like so many programs they have been unable to film new episodes because of Covid 19.
But luckily they created a live four hour FB portrait painting show, on Sundays, in which artist from around the world can participate by painting the guess celebrity sitter.
Last Sunday, June 7, the sitter was the British Broadcaster Clare Balding. I along with thousands of other artists participated.
Each week they place a montage of the portraits entered around the show title and it was a thrill to see my painting made it onto this page.
Below is a screen shot showing my portrait of Clare in the upper right just inside the white space of the title block.
The image on the screen may be small but my gratitude is huge.
Thank you Sky Arts!
