Illustration Friday - WISDOM
A quickie in honour of a wise politician who died today. Mo Mowlam's honest, straight, affectionate and unconventional approach got things done. We could all learn something from her.

that's a great portrait Julie..
i saw people talking about her on the bbc but didn't listen and didn't realize she passed away...
I like the bold strokes and the simplicity of this. It seems very much in keeping with your descritpion of Mo Mowlam...I confess that I do not know who she is, but your illustration has prompted me to look her up. Very nice!
I really love brushwork like this. Did you use a brush pen?
Thank you all.
Do 'Google' Mo Mowlam's name if you have the time - you have to hand it to someone who tells Ian Paisley to f*** off.
I had very little time to do this, so for me it was a very quick illustration - about 10 minutes and yes I did use a brush pen - wonderful tool.
Nice and expressive image.
Mo Mowlam and Robin Cook in less than a month - very sad.
tough woman! i should try brush pen, your strokes are really nice!
A very nice brush drawing
Karen, I have you to thank because I found out about these brushpens on your blog. A lot of the time I can't face getting out paintbrushes, inks, paints or water because of potential accidents with my toddler charging around, however the brushpens are a godsend.
