About the artwork
Billy Connolly is well known for his sometimes outrageous live unscripted stage comedy acts and television appearances. He has starred in feature films and also made a number of television documentaries including his "World Tour of Australia" and others with content on travel, art and music. More recently he has suffered from Parkinsons disease and my painting shows him very much as he is at the moment. In the last few years he has given up live performances but still makes documentaries and does live and recorded interviews. It has just been announced that he has been awarded fellowship of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). Despite his outspoken comic style he has always had a passionate, thoughtful and sensitive side to his character and I have tried to express this in my portrait. Although it states that a frame is required, the painting can, if necessary, be supplied with a basic black frame at the price stated.Billy Connolly

Art and music have always fascinated me and I have been involved with them for most of my life.

Actors from stage and screen also feature in the portraits included in my portfolio. Commissions are regularly undertaken. Painting gives me enormous pleasure and I hope others enjoy what I create. Virtually all the income I receive from sales is donated to the NH... (see more)
