BP portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery




I was at the National portrait gallery last week and I stopped in to see the BP award winners show. There was a lot of good work there, but the artist Mary Jane Ansell really stood out. The first thing I noticed was the size of the painting, which was a little bit smaller than a 8x10 piece of paper. I really appreciated her choice of such a small painting given that most of the work was fairly large. I love the intimate feeling of having to get close to the work, which was lovely.
