gibberish

I was rather taken by this excellent portrait which is shortlisted for the above prize. It’s by Hendrik Kerstens and it’s of his daughter, Paula. I think it’s beautiful in that it looks like an old Dutch master but with a disposable carrier bag in place of a starched white hat.

Great.

And I think it should win.

Here’s the other three shortlisted Portraits

Lottie Davis’ Quints

Catherine Balet’s Ines Connected with Amina

And, Tom Stoddart’s Rupert Murdoch which has a strange but beautiful sadness about it.
