Ready to Hang

We'd recognize them anywhere: Donatella and Ron Perlman. Er, no, actually it's Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie painstakingly rendered in a new portrait by Peter Howson. Two interesting facts about the painting and the artist. One, Howson used his own face for Madonna's. And two, it's said that Madonna has been collecting Howson's work for 17 years, yet has only four of his paintings. Oh, and three, Guy's not too fond of the guy. (Source; t/y Liz)
