This is a painting I did for my friend Diana's birthday this year. I decided to paint her a picture as she is officially 197.6% cooler than you, and thus deserves the effort.
It took me fucking ages (like, 2 or 3 weeks most nights) as unlike my other paintings where I had a degree of artistic licence, I had to try as hard as possible to make this look like the real Dee. I believe I succeeded as she seems happy with it.
In any case, thankfully our Dee is far from facially challenged, so it shouldn't prove too difficult for her to put up with even if she doesn't really like it... ;)
I may post the original photo here as well if Dee will let me.
Slightly grainy photo taken with her fella's swanky new iPhone. I might retake with a proper flash at some point, to better show up the brown detail in the hair and background, but you get the idea.
