I would have painted them for £100 each, with mustaches and glasses already on!

You can even print photos on special paper that looks like they are painted on canvas - done that for my card making.

I really like those pop art - like the Andy Warhol type pictures; I wanted to get one of those done for each of my granddaughters and they said no

Similar to this

"We've been collecting art in the House of Commons, and Parliament generally, since the 14th century.

"We're preserving the history of Parliament through art. We're also doing a number of other things as part of that process: one is supporting young artists.

"Most of the artists who paint for us are up-and-coming... We also bargain very, very seriously"

Frank Doran, Labour MP and chairman of the Speaker's Advisory Committee on Works of Art

If they pay for it themselves, then it's very commendable to be doing so much good for up and coming artists - although I suspect the local colleges that teach art might just put the money to better use.
