I've managed to get to see nearly all the episodes and enjoyed them all, BUT having Una Stubbs to present it has really spoiled it for me. She has a most patronizing voice, is condescending to the extreme, asks the most ridiculous questions and has absolutely no dress sense whatsoever. Perhaps she's pinched Aunt Sally 's clothes!
I've not seen this programme until today, so can't comment on the artists previous efforts, but the thing I really must comment on is the choice of Una Stubbs as a presenter. I honestly thought I was looking at Julie Walter's Mrs Overall character from Acorn Antiques. Don't get me wrong, I think she's a great actor, I like her character in Sherlock, but for God's sake someone take her to one side and have a word in her ear re: her dress sense.

Claire's painting though.... =/ might have to take back what I said about wanting her to win lol.
Now the judges are going to say nice things about the garbage produced by the other two ...
I feel that she knew she did not have it in her to paint from those pictures so she took the easy way out and called it ''abstract'.
A conflict between two squares -- that's how I understood her describing it.
I think Paul will win. His work is much more gentle than Richard's. I find Richards quite heavy.
