If I could paint, I'd paint a portrait of you

I'm glad the painting of Heath came runner up in the Archibald Prize. If it had won, people would question whether it was awarded because of tragic circumstance or because it was truly a deserving painting

I agree with you, this portrait is so much more arresting. And so sad. The smiling Heath on the right is one I remember so clearly from movies, its terrible to look at, but very real, if that makes any sense. The winning portrait was too fluffy, this is much more.

Thanks for putting this up!

I was more bowled over by the Heath painting, as you said it's not because he is no longer living but what it portrays.

That should have won.
