Miggy photographed in the style of Vladimir Tretchikoff. If you don’t know who he was you will certainly have seen his work. The painter of the ‘Chinese Girl’ and ‘Balinese Girl’ and other ladies from the Orient and beyond. Prints of his work hang in literally millions of homes throughout the world. He was reputedly the worlds wealthiest artist after Picasso!

Miggy was photographed in my front room and the sky was shot with my point and shoot on a trip to the supermarket. The two images were combined to create this single image.
