Just been looking at it on the DM on line. What do you think of it. The art critics have slated it but I think there is something rather charming about it. sort of a Mona Lisa look. A 'guess what I am thinking' look. |

Not liking it, the artist hasn't captured her natural glow. I think she looks older than she is....... in my humble opinion. |

I was talking about this earlier to a friend, we both agreed we'd be happy if we could paint like that lol. I think there are maybe a couple of lines that aren't there (yet!), the nose is not quite right perhaps and he's softened the chin a little, but the hair is particularly good. |

Sorry, but if it was me I'd be phoning the bank to stop the cheque! |

I'm humming and hahing(sp) .Yes I do like it ,but I do think it makes her look older and yes rather tired. |

I think she looks really tired, especially around the eyes. Maybe she modelled for it while she was suffering from morning sickness! |

It looks nothing like her at all!!!! Artist has completely missed her beauty. I think he has done a painting of someone else and there is a vague similarity to Kate so he has pretended it is of her. |

Wonder who the photo was of. She is a little bit like Kate, same age as her mother, but nowhere near as attractive as her mum. :-D |

That's the thing if you look at the photo he painted from it's a good likeness... that photo was not perhaps the most accurate...the camera does lie lol.... my passport photo taken when I was in my twenties made me look like a drug addict...the latest one 'does not do me justice' ( the lady at the post office said so lolol) . |

Well....you can see its Kate, l like it but there is something missing. l think its her eyes they make her look older, they are not as sparkly, also the cheek bones are'nt as showy!! |
