This portrait of these 2 charming ladies - mum & daughter - will be flying to Zimbabwe, as the mother is going back for a visit to that troubled country., I didn`t have to ask them to smile, they were chortling for the whole time it took me to do their portraits - about 45 minutes.

An interesting couple sat for me when I did portraits (& caricatures!) at a shopping centre in Farnborough, Hampshire. The beautiful, graceful lady is from Poland and her friend is from Afghanistan, he was amazedwhen I told him that I stayed in Kabul for 3 weeks in 1979 when it was a hippie\tourist stopping off point on the great route through the middle east to Asia.
