This portrait of Princess Diana is approximately 122cm x 122cm (4' x 4') painted in Acrylic paint in an Airbrush style. This piece was painted part of a series of contemporary portraits for my Fine Art Degree Show at Portsmouth Polytechnic and One-man exhibition at the Lord Mountbatten Gallery, Portsmouth, England in July 1981.

This painting has always held a personal significance to me. Diana Spencer, as she was known before her royal marriage, looked so vulnerable and innocent as the media swooped down upon her. Her charm, good looks and innocents had captivated me.

Above I was commissioned to paint two portraits to contribute to the Princess Diana Royal wedding appeal in June 1981 by Portsmouth City Council for youth activities at Fort Purbrook.

Since the sad death of Princess Diana in 1997, this painting has continued to hold great sentimental value for me. I am Honoured to have this painting featured in Mem Mehmet new book 'Diana in Art'
