I watched the Arena programme on Rolf Harris last night. What an inspiration! Although the billing indicatated that we would be seeing Rolf creating scenes from A Midsummer Night's Dream, the programme was so much more, covering Rolf's life story. It was also interesting to see how he interacted with his four models; Lily Cole, Dervla Kerwin, Lizzie Jagger and Emer Kenny (who I thought was really lovely).
It was nice to see Alwyn, Rolf's wife featured as well. After all, they've been married for 52 years, even longer than me!
Overall, the programme has given me the impetus to get back to the easel again and splash some paint around.
Thanks Rolf.
