Every summer on a nice evening I take my camera with me and press gang a couple of members for an impromptu photo shoot before the club evening starts.
Irene is always a willing sitter, so when I went to the club tonight I asked her if she would " come outside with me "
Irene gave me her customary smile and asked me how Ruby and Jane were keeping (whippet and wife)
Irene is a big fan of Ruby having met her a few times in Arnold
Hope you like this portrait of Irene
I always like a brick wall background to my portraits. Did anyone notice that HRH Kate Windsor released a picture of her son George against a brick wall. I think she might be copying me !!!
Do you remember the song, "Come outside"? Thats what I thought and wonder if Irene thought this too! She's not going to bang her head against the brick wall is she?
HRH Kate sure knows whom to copy and she chose the right person for the job. Your portrait captures are always excellent and this is one of them. I think Irene is copying you, too - with a lovely smile like yours.
@maggiemae I was thinking eaxactly the same maggie, we are of the same era obviously....Wendy Richard! @phil_howcroft Irene has a very friendly face, a great asset to have I think! You are obviously a trail blazer Phil!
Our club closes for the summer, but we have informal weekly outings for those members who are not on holiday.
