**She’s No Oil Painting**

Don’t you just despair when you hear the phrase “she’s no oil painting”? It’s so unkind and so unnecessary to comment on someone’s appearance.

I believe we are all individuals. We all have our little quirks and ‘imperfections’ - but to me, that just makes us unique, so we need to celebrate our differences NOT judge or ridicule them. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

And so, creating a little Heavenly magic, I took this negative phrase and turned it into a positive! You could even say that we have ‘reframed’ it...

With lockdown still in force, our very own Renaissance Man Olly was called upon to bring my vision and oil painting to (not so still) life!

I wanted him to unleash his inner artist, using my face as his canvas, and paint it with vibrant rich colours in a haphazard fashion. Move over Leonardo da Vinci, Olly’s in the studio and taking over the easel!

Armed only with brushes, palettes, paints and a bucketload of talent and imagination, with each stroke, his masterpiece came to life.

Next up, it was time for Adrian to frame this work of art on screen, by working his post production magic on the images, turning them into oil paintings worthy of hanging in any art gallery.
