I might as well start to see what I can come up with.<br /><br />PET, what a wonderful painting it is! <br /><br />Angel, yes he is! And so much style!<br /><br />Jane and Lance, what is old is always new again.<br /><br />Anya, yes seeing both together is so cool.<br /><br />Andy, cannot wait to hear!<br /><br />Mark, it is a bit like evolution isn't it?<br /><br />Catherine, thankyou!<br /><br />Norma, see!<br /><br />Mr SWF, I too have been a fan of Norell, so stay tuned for a future post. Along with the portrait the AGO also has the bronze head by Epstein! I visit them both at least once a month.David Tomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181690917362173400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-10323017554288606802011-08-23T14:39:31.725-04:002011-08-23T14:39:31.725-04:00i didn't know about the first photo until now,...i didn't know about the first photo until now, it's shockingly similar to the one of tom ford, just like you've said.Costin Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06628450868002764589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-10730080198443305082011-08-23T10:13:24.759-04:002011-08-23T10:13:24.759-04:00Very interesting.Very interesting.Paisley Curtainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869767014298868125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-13319983285482620262011-08-23T07:45:50.339-04:002011-08-23T07:45:50.339-04:00Both versions are truly inspiring!

In my supreme stupidity I knew nothing about them. <br />Now I am thinking with what 4 women of my own realm would I fancy to be portrait-ed like that. I have to think on the painting too :-)<br />It is wonderful to follow your blog, pure gold.<br />PS. Once a friend made this portrait of me - with the imaginary woman - but that was just a "classic" couple setting :-). It is featured in one of the first Posts in my blog:<br /> http://pencilandbox.blogspot.com/2010/09/on-my-back.html<br />Well, with a good cup of coffee, this wondering with the mind is about the best way to start a day that I can think of. Thank you.<br />Oh, the "pirate battle" thing in "my beach" is a once-in-a-year summer-fetes event, thankfully, but you are right, it is real life too.Pethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051290783539970956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-33471049703431541862011-08-23T01:47:46.428-04:002011-08-23T01:47:46.428-04:00Tom Ford looks very young in that picture..

They have that sobriety and perfect balance. <br /><br />Did you see the video of the recent Chanel inspired Casati collection? And of course the incredible Casati portrait by Augustus John in Toronto's Art Gallery of Ontario.Square With Flairhttp://squarewithflair.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
