They've made a film now about Miss World 1970.  That demo of thirty years ago was a big news event, and I was in it.

I'm a painter, though.  Here's a new painting called Portrait of a Leaf which is in the television film.  In the film you can see the process of painting it, just beginning.  Here, you can see it finished. 

I found an autumn leaf.  There were thousands and thousands on the ground but no two of them identical.  So the painting is of only one leaf, but in multiplicity each one is special.
