Sid James by Ruskin Spear

'Sid James' by Ruskin Spear (1910-1990)

Painted in 1962, oil & collage on canvas.

Currently held in The National Portrait Gallery collection

(Three of Ruskin Spear's watercolours made it into Recording Britain Vol 4 1949...you see how my mind is working at present, eh?)

I've never come across Ruskin Spear before, lovely depiction of Sid too.

P.S. I like the subtle links to previous posts ;-)

Tee hee!

Fab blog. Love the header! Lizzie

Thanks VB - very best of luck with your fair on Saturday (if time allows, hope to come along!)
