On a wild windswept day I drove to Margate to see the exhibition by Rose Wylie. I had read good things about this but honestly couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. The best thing there was a lovely sensitive portrait of Wylie by Felicity Allen. Allen has been artist in residence and made lots of watercolour portraits of women artists who came and sat for her at Turner Contemporary. Inspired by this and by recent writing in my reflective journal for UCS I began an oil painting of myself aged 5 and it became a double portrait to include myself today.
