Dame Judy is a portrait painted with warmth and admiration. I wanted to capture not just likeness, but presence — the quiet confidence, grace, and charm that radiates from her. Her slight smile and the gentle tilt of her head create an openness that draws the viewer in, as if she is on the verge of sharing a story or a secret.
The deep background contrasts with the lighter tones of her hair and skin, giving her an almost luminous quality. The textured strokes in her clothing and scarf add richness, with blues, golds, and greens woven together to hold depth and movement.
For me, this painting is about character. It is a celebration of wisdom and spirit, a reminder of the beauty in both strength and gentleness.
