I was absolutely delighted to spot Claire Keegan’s “Foster” (and my painting on the cover) at the BBC’s screen of this year’s British Academy Film Awards, known as the BAFTAs.

That sounds like a great adventure!!
This scene leaves me with a lot of questions! But I love the photo.
What sort of questions, Pam??
