John Lydon
I wasn’t planning on doing a watercolour today but I found a photo of John Lydon that was just begging to be painted in Liz Chaderton style. In...

I've had my eye in the late Paul Shane for a while. In particular the Paul Shane who turned up on Pebble Mill that time to sing You've Lost That...
KeiraG
