Review:

Anyone see this? What has happened to artists, do they all, like Peter Blake and Jack Vettriano, just 
sit painting a photo sellotaped to their easels. Then with a lot of time and effort produce a wooden, a-
level (grade B) standard painting of said photo. Is that what art has come to?  Vetriano came across 
as a nice guy, which was odd. S. Vine at least painted from life, but didn't seem to make much 
difference, though was funny watching her paint the england manager who doesn't speak english, and 
her turning up to paint with some newspaper on the floor at the FA.
