My Latest completed painting for my Mens Health series is of the wonderful Stu Wyatt here is his story in his own words, to accompany his portrait, thank you for the fabulous collaboration Stu : “Barbara asked me to write a few words about myself, and I’m not sure where to begin.
Hi. I’m Stu.
Is that enough? Probably not…. I’ll continue then.
I’ve led a varied existence. I was born a Tory but now consider myself very left wing. I was brought up to be a bigot and to punch downwards, but I now actively fight bigotry and direct all punches very firmly upwards.
I used to be a touring musician entertaining crowds across Europe, but I haven’t performed a gig for over sixteen years now or left my town in six.
I used to enjoy walking, but I’m now forced to transition into a Dalek when I leave the flat.
The biggest recent change is that I used to fear the police arresting me again for using cannabis to treat my illness, but here I am, in front of my vape bong, vaping legally prescribed medicinal cannabis…
…. things could be worse 
I feel very honoured to have a talented artist like Barbara paint my portrait, and I’m very happy with how it’s turned out. “
