Murphy
Murphy is famous for his wonderful portrait sketches of famous people and also he has painted some amazing scenes of Space. To view his work go to his website listed in COLLEAGUES in the side bar.
Murphy sketched the most beautiful portrait of my grand daughter Jordan and called it “The Young Mona Lisa” and from that moment I wanted to sketch, with the hope that one day I could sketch a portrait of Jordan just like this and recently I completed my version and posted it in The Gallery, however, I hasten to add it cant compare with Murphy´s sketch.
Murphy calls me Lady Essex, I am not quite sure why but it is a name that has stayed with me and on RedBubble my avatar is LadyE.
I wrote this poem back in 2009 as a tribute to Murphy
MURPHY
The Gentle hands with fingers so slender
And friendly smile on a face so tender
Warm brown eyes showing friendship so dear
Pencil and Paper always ready and near
Inspiration comes quickly to this artist so fine
As his pencil flies swiftly barely missing a line
With effortless ease a portrait is created
Of faces so famous, much destined and fated
Many thanks Murphy for inspiring me to sketch….LadyE xx
