I think it's a fantastic portrait in that it sums up the man perfectly (and not in the way he would like to think..)

Well done to the OP's OH!

AnandaTimeIn · 20/12/2013 14:03

I knew him, before he even went to Oxford.....

He was o.k. then.

What different paths we trod..... Hmm

portrait was unveiled yesterday and afterwards we went for a meal with the blairs. dh asked euan's wife about their wedding, as obviously, sian lloyd is her stepmum, and she said she was invited but chose the ignore the invitation and make a big fuss, that's it, not much gossip but i get the impression the press made a bigger deal out of it than there actually ever was.

euan's wife is stunning btw, actually all of the blair's children are really friendly.

Saw the portrait before I read this thread and thought how excellent the painting is.

Always thought TB has an element of 'deer caught in headlights' guilty conscience? which I think is reflected here.

ashamedoverthinker · 20/12/2013 19:37

I like it

Theimpossiblegirl · 20/12/2013 19:48

It's a fabulous painting. I'm afraid I did LOL when I read the "cum face" comment though.

koTinkaBell · 20/12/2013 19:51

brilliant!

Blair's still a cunt though

BackOnlyBriefly · 20/12/2013 20:02

Brilliant painting!

edamsavestheday · 21/12/2013 23:15

Great painting, think your husband has captured something about Blair. It's the face of a man who knows he has done great wrongs, but is trying to avoid the day of reckoning, IMO.

CustardoPaidforIDSsYFronts · 21/12/2013 23:16

wow amazing

LaurieFairyCake · 21/12/2013 23:20

That's an excellent painting, your husband is an amazing artist.

Really captured him IMO

MamaMary · 21/12/2013 23:23

Your DH is very gifted.

He has captured him utterly.
