Martin Forrest
He persuaded a nanny who he saw pushing a pram to come and sit for this painting. By all accounts she was very tall. He painted the face from one of his regular models. The roses were ordered daily from Covent Garden.

Irene from Marton
When I saw the the thumbnail I thought 'just another choc box picture'. When I enlarged it, the hairs stood up on the back of my neck. This is a picture of outstanding beauty and skilled brushwork. I thought I was a reasonable artist until I saw this. I feel humbled..

Did the sitter pose for this picture in situ? You'd think she'd be overwhelmed by the scent of roses and honeysuckle - you can practically smell it coming off the canvas.
