    Bought a Gerrard Portrait...

    Bought this recently...

    It was done by a relatively prominent Irish painter, just wondered what yis think?

    I'm not saying what I paid for it at this stage, maybe later.. Happy enough with it though. Pic taken funny angle :D

    It measures about 2ft x 2.5ft

    Nice painting.

    Stevie looks a bit boney in the torso/arms, but the definition in the face is spot on for that style of painting.

    Doesn't really matter what we think of it. I have seen some truly God awful art pieces in my time (the foyer downstairs at work hosts a fair few exhibitions) yet they sell for 100's if not 1000's of euro. If you like, that's all that matters. It's not a bad piece but I'm not gone on it.

    I think it's not to bad just the size of the body compared to head looks a bit wrong.
    So how much you pay for it :p
