Im still sketching..but wanted to share with you one of my favourite painters. Her name is Paula Rego. She is from Portugal. I fell in love with her about 13 years ago after seeing the above picture in a gallery in London. (If anyone knows where or how I can buy this as a poster I would be so grateful!) For me, the paintings have such strength in the lines.. so vivid..with some fantastic story behind them.

Thanks for sharing!
Curiously enough, you've posted some of her paintings I like best. Hence this comment. We love her here! Thank you very much!
Do you know she works (or at least she used to)in a closed room with no windows, I think a basement in London, under artificial light all the time?
I saw a programme about her years ago where they showed the way and the conditions she worked and you could understand better that her paintings are very much from her interior rather than the physical surroundings playing much in it.
