jonathan yeo


 In the early 1920's while recovering from Hodgkin's disease Yeo taught himself to paint. He became know in the 2000's because of his lifelike portraits of famous actors, comedians and politicians. People like Dennis HooperRupert Murdoch and actress Minnie Driver sat for Yeo.
In 2005 London's National Portrait Gallery held his painting of Erin O'Conner. All Yeo.s paintings look very lifelike this is why I like them.
