00:30to immortalize these unsung heroes
00:32with a unique series of portraits.
00:34This is the hardest bit for you, isn't it, Eddie?
00:36Sitting still.
00:37We were just, uh, we were just looking at you.
00:40Can you look at me with your eyes?
00:42It's not going to be easy.
00:43I feel in my own personal hell.
00:45The reveals are not that far away now.
00:48If this second cast fails, I'm done.
00:50There's a big sense of responsibility
00:52to capture their story.
00:55But the results are going to be amazing.
00:57I've put my heart and soul into this.
00:58Three, two, one.
01:02Fantastic.
01:03Quite blown away, to be honest.
01:05I wasn't thinking you were going to make me cry.
01:07Sorry, I'm getting a bit emotional.
01:10Creating a legacy for generations to come.
01:13I want to remember them like that.
01:15I'm struggling to find right words
01:16because there's no words.
01:18To have us captured in that moment,
01:21in that spot that means so much,
01:23is, uh, an absolute privilege.
01:25Welcome to Extraordinary Portraits.
01:36Today's story is about two sisters,
01:39their amazing emotional bond,
01:42an act of selflessness,
01:44a bit of medical history,
01:46and the creation of a new life.
01:51Grace made history
01:52as the first woman in the UK
01:54to give birth from a transplanted wound,
01:57a life-changing gift
01:58donated by her sister, Amy.
02:00Hello.
02:01Hi.
02:02Hello, Amy.
02:03Amy.
02:04Hi, Grace.
02:04Grace, lovely to meet you.
02:06Thanks for coming.
02:07Thank you.
02:08Enter our artist's retreat.
02:15Welcome both.
02:16Firstly, I have to say,
02:18you've been causing a bit of a stir
02:21in the medical world.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Two years ago,
02:25they did a transplant
02:26and took Amy's womb
02:27and put it into me.
02:28I had a baby, um, four months ago.
02:31And what's her name?
02:32Uh, Amy.
02:32Oh.
02:33Yeah, yeah.
02:33Oh, there you go.
02:34Yeah.
02:34Of course.
02:35What was the condition
02:36that-that prevented you
02:38from getting pregnant?
02:39So, I have a condition
02:40called MRKH.
02:42Basically means
02:42that I was born without a womb.
02:44So, I've got ovaries,
02:45I've got all the other things.
02:46I found that out
02:47when I was a teenager
02:48because I didn't have periods.
02:50So, it's just a-
02:51a sort of a-a rare...
02:52Yeah.
02:53Yeah, just a rare condition.
02:54As soon as I was diagnosed,
02:55I-I really struggled.
02:56I think the impact
02:57on my mental health
02:59of this condition
02:59just meant that
03:01there was a grief
03:02of having, uh,
03:03the loss of something
03:04and the impact of that
03:06was, yeah,
03:07the hopelessness.
03:08It was a no-brainer
03:09despite the risks.
03:10In a time when
03:11we hear of
03:13medical breakthroughs,
03:14it's still nothing
03:15sort of miraculous.
03:16I know it is.
03:17The consultant
03:17that diagnosed me
03:18with MRKH
03:19when I was 19
03:20said that, you know,
03:21maybe in my lifetime
03:22it might become an option.
03:24It's all due
03:24to that wonderful team.
03:25Literally everybody
03:26that has been involved
03:27that we've come across
03:28has been amazing.
03:30Seeing the impact
03:30that that had
03:31on her,
03:33I would have done
03:34anything,
03:35in all honesty.
03:36I mean,
03:36it's a huge thing
03:37to do
03:38for another person.
03:40You know,
03:40it's an enormous
03:41acts of selflessness
03:43in many ways.
03:44It's a big operation,
03:46it's got huge risks,
03:47but mine was nine hours.
03:49They have to retrieve
03:50the womb
03:51in a perfect condition.
03:54But yeah,
03:54looking back,
03:56it was
03:57such an amazing journey,
03:59but a really,
04:00really hard one
04:01as well
04:01for not just us.
04:03For everyone,
04:04it's the whole family,
04:05isn't it?
04:05I think it was
04:06about 14 hours
04:07for me,
04:07so it was, again,
04:08a lot longer
04:09than expected.
04:1014 hours?
04:11I mean,
04:12that must be
04:12as much as the body
04:13can take, though.
04:14Yeah.
04:14Two weeks
04:15after the operation,
04:16you phoned
04:16to say you'd
04:17had your first period
04:18and the transformation
04:20was so apparent then
04:22of just how
04:23different you were.
04:24Even just having periods,
04:26the emotional
04:28impact of all
04:29of this
04:29because I was
04:30always striving
04:31for something
04:31and I've got
04:32a confidence
04:33or a security
04:34that I didn't
04:35have before.
04:37What would you
04:39hope that people
04:40hearing about this
04:41story will take
04:42away from it?
04:43People might not
04:44understand the
04:45worthiness of
04:46this procedure,
04:47but yeah,
04:49it was absolutely
04:50the right thing to do
04:51and it's transformed
04:52my life.
04:53Me and Angus,
04:54my husband,
04:54we're just like,
04:55we can't believe
04:55she's ours.
04:57This has been
04:58the best thing
04:59that I have
05:00ever done
05:01to change
05:02somebody's happiness.
05:04And have you
05:05had any thoughts
05:06at all about
05:06how you'd like
05:07to be portrayed?
05:09Hopefully capture
05:10the relationship
05:11that we have
05:11somehow because
05:12our bond
05:13is really special.
05:14Okay,
05:14so you sit tight.
05:16I'll go and get
05:16the artist.
05:17I'll see you in a minute.
05:18Okay.
05:29Hello, everyone.
05:31Hi.
05:31How you doing,
05:32man?
05:32You're all right?
05:33So today's sitters,
05:35quite an amazing story.
05:38Two sisters,
05:39one who had a rare
05:41condition which meant
05:43that she couldn't
05:44conceive,
05:45and her sister
05:48donated her womb.
05:49Wow.
05:50And I reckon,
05:52Karen,
05:52you would love
05:54to have a go at this.
05:55Exactly the kind of one
05:56I'd love to paint.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Follow me
05:58and I'll fill you in
05:59on the way.
06:00See you guys.
06:01See you later.
06:02Cheers.
06:05I thought Karen
06:06would be perfect for this
06:07because she loves
06:08painting strong women.
06:10Amy and Grace,
06:11this is Karen.
06:12Who to say hello to first?
06:13Karen.
06:14This is Amy
06:16and this is Grace.
06:18I'm really excited
06:19to find out more
06:19about your story.
06:20We thought about
06:21what you would like it
06:22to look like in terms
06:23of how you're represented,
06:24what you'd like to be shown.
06:26I think just following
06:27our chat with Bill
06:28how wonderful it is
06:29to give a gift,
06:30but also just the joy
06:31that I think has come
06:33out of this whole experience.
06:34We will produce
06:36something magical, I'm sure.
06:37There's plenty to do,
06:38so I'm going to let you get on.
06:39Good luck.
06:40Thank you very much.
06:41Thank you.
06:41See you soon.
06:42See you later.
06:49What an amazing story.
06:52Extraordinarily moving
06:53in many ways.
06:56I think there's something
06:57between them.
06:59This bond,
07:00I think that's what
07:01she'll have to try
07:02and capture,
07:03and I think that will create
07:05something quite amazing.
07:13Karen has come to Scotland
07:15to meet Grace and Amy
07:16at their parents' home
07:17where they grew up.
07:18She wants to better understand
07:20the sisters
07:20and their relationship.
07:22The whole family
07:23is here to welcome them.
07:25Hello.
07:27So nice to see you.
07:28Hello.
07:29How are you?
07:29I'm good.
07:30How are you?
07:31Yeah, Kate?
07:31I know.
07:32I've heard a lot about you.
07:33Yeah.
07:34This is Amy.
07:35Nice to meet you, Amy.
07:37Freshly back.
07:38I'm looking forward to
07:39just sort of seeing
07:39how you all just live
07:41and just get up to.
07:44Shall we?
07:45I would love to.
07:47Yeah.
07:49Oh, yay.
07:50Fabulous.
07:51Is that one fine?
07:52Thank you very much.
07:54Well, it's amazing
07:54to actually finally meet her.
07:57So how old is she now?
07:58Four and a half months.
08:00Four and a half months.
08:00Yeah, yeah.
08:01Beautiful and life-changing.
08:03Yeah, yeah, definitely.
08:04Yeah, yeah.
08:05Something I would really
08:06love to ask you two.
08:07Did you know
08:08when you first met
08:10that Grace was going
08:11to have difficulty conceiving?
08:13Yeah.
08:14So I think it's back in 2009
08:17that Grace told me
08:18about her MRKH diagnosis.
08:22So yeah, we knew quite early on
08:23that this was a journey
08:24that we were going through together.
08:25I definitely wanted to tell Angus
08:27very early on
08:27because I sort of felt
08:28that could be a deal-breaker
08:30and him wanting to be
08:31in a relationship with me.
08:32How did you feel
08:33when you knew
08:34this might be something
08:35that would happen?
08:36Because it can't have been
08:37an easy thing
08:38to kind of deal with.
08:40To be candid and honest,
08:41there was trepidation.
08:43At the start,
08:43I wasn't 100% bought in.
08:46It's a big risk.
08:47It's a lengthy operation
08:48and quickly became apparent
08:50how much it meant to Amy
08:52and the kids were younger
08:54at the time as well,
08:55our kids, and so...
08:56That was the most difficult part.
08:57was arriving home
08:58in a state that they had
09:00never, ever seen me.
09:02Yeah, I wish she'd never needed
09:03to go through that for me,
09:05but yeah, I'm so grateful
09:07that she was able to.
09:18For Grace,
09:19I know that she's talked about
09:21like the physical need
09:22to have a child.
09:24That's worst of all really
09:26because she would watch
09:29other people
09:30and she would go out
09:31and smile
09:32and this was something
09:33that she would perhaps
09:35never be able to do.
09:36And it did affect
09:37her mental health
09:39and she did feel down
09:41a lot of the time.
09:42I mean, that's one
09:43of the wonderful things
09:44about what has happened.
09:45It's not just
09:46obviously to see
09:47little Amy
09:48is wonderful,
09:50a great gift,
09:51but the other bonus
09:52is to see
09:53Grace transformed.
10:03Seeing Grace and Amy together
10:04in a really relaxed way
10:05has helped me
10:06sort of think about
10:06how maybe I want them
10:07to look in the painting.
10:09I've been thinking
10:09about composition.
10:11They are so relaxed
10:12around each other,
10:14so happy around each other
10:15and I want to bring that in.
10:24The box has arrived.
10:25I'm about to get it out
10:26and I'm still second-guessing
10:28my choices.
10:29I'm still worried
10:30that I've gone too big.
10:33If it's too late
10:33to change my mind,
10:34I'm just gonna,
10:36I'm just gonna get started.
10:44Well, I'm at the studio
10:46where Karen
10:46is fully into her process.
10:49It's the biggest project
10:50she's ever taken on,
10:51so I'm really keen
10:52to see how this portrait
10:53is progressing.
10:55Hey, how you doing?
10:56Good, how are you?
10:57Good to see you.
10:57You too.
10:58So, tell me about Scotland.
10:59It was amazing.
11:00Such a beautiful place,
11:01such a lovely family.
11:02I guess you had some ideas
11:04about composition
11:05and how you're gonna
11:06approach it.
11:07It needs to be quite
11:07an intimate painting, I think.
11:09But I'm thinking,
11:10can I do full body
11:11and still have that happen?
11:12So this is challenge number one.
11:14What is this?
11:15This is...
11:15Huge.
11:16This is effectively
11:17a giant sketchbook.
11:18So normally,
11:19I think what most people
11:19would do,
11:20I don't normally paint
11:21anywhere near as big as this.
11:22Because I don't work big,
11:23I kind of need to see it big
11:24to work out
11:25if that's gonna work for me.
11:26So I thought you could
11:27actually help me
11:28with just sort of
11:28blocking out some shapes.
11:29Oh, okay.
11:30So this is just to get a sense
11:31of what...
11:31Just to get a sense, yeah.
11:32How it would fill the space.
11:33How would they fill the space
11:34if we did
11:35a full body image like this?
11:37Yeah.
11:38Straight away,
11:39I think that one.
11:40Yeah, me too.
11:40The two of them together.
11:42You know,
11:42it's a little bit staged
11:44because they're doing
11:45this sort of thing
11:46with the shoes,
11:47but it's kind of quite funny
11:48and it's quite charming
11:49and it's...
11:50It says something
11:50about their connection,
11:51I think.
11:51Yes.
11:52But it's also a good place
11:53to start
11:53because that's us finding out
11:54if we put that onto here,
11:56how big will their faces be?
11:57Oh, I see, yeah.
11:58I don't want to do
11:59an enormous painting for me,
12:01but then they're tiny within it.
12:03Do you want to give it a go?
12:04So, yeah,
12:05it really doesn't matter
12:05what this looks like.
12:06It's just mapping
12:07the blocks of shapes.
12:09Mapping the blocks of shapes.
12:10Right, okay.
12:11Just because...
12:11So then we can actually
12:12really kind of feel
12:14whether there's enough impact
12:16at that size or not.
12:18And that, to me,
12:19doesn't feel right.
12:20Right, okay.
12:21I think we should look
12:22at the other picture.
12:23Why do you like this one?
12:25I think in this,
12:26because we've got them,
12:27their faces are so much
12:28more prominent.
12:29We don't have the full body.
12:30We can go larger.
12:32It just is a more intimate shot.
12:46It's just worth doing this
12:48rather than going up,
12:49doing a sitting,
12:50shooting images
12:51that I just...
12:52that aren't going to work.
12:53It's amazing, isn't it?
12:54It's just how
12:55moving shapes around
12:56altering the relationship
12:58between them.
12:59It does a totally
13:00different thing.
13:01There's a totally
13:01different feel
13:02that comes from it.
13:03So we now know
13:04something behind a table
13:05and then it's
13:07getting that connection
13:08while they're there.
13:09And I'll paint
13:10whichever one feels
13:11like it says the thing.
13:13I mean, do you know what?
13:14I like it.
13:21I'm not just painting
13:22one person
13:23and one story
13:24but I'm painting a bond.
13:26So I've got a lot
13:26of questions
13:27that I want to ask
13:28when I get up to Scotland
13:29to see them.
13:34Karen paints directly
13:36onto raw canvas
13:37which means there's
13:38no opportunity
13:39to correct mistakes later.
13:41So the pose she chooses
13:42during the sitting
13:43has to be exactly right.
13:45Every angle, gesture
13:46and expression
13:47must be perfect
13:48in the moment.
13:49So I was hoping
13:50you could show me
13:51around a little bit
13:52and sort of find
13:53some locations
13:53that maybe we could
13:54shoot some photos.
13:59So is this the kind
14:00of thing you would
14:00normally do
14:01when you were growing up here?
14:02Yeah, we had quite
14:03a lot of different jobs.
14:06Go on, sheep!
14:08Where's our herd
14:09or we need them?
14:10I can run up the field
14:11and see if I can.
14:11We need a sheep dog.
14:20Go on!
14:25Just seeing them
14:26living this kind of life
14:27just helps me
14:28because I do want
14:29to make sure
14:29that I somehow
14:30bring this location in.
14:31You are rubbish, Grace!
14:34It's a lot of field
14:35to cover.
14:37Thank those sheep
14:38for mocking us.
14:44While Grace gets
14:45on with the farm work
14:46Karen takes the opportunity
14:47to talk to Amy
14:49about the impact
14:50of the procedure
14:51on her.
14:52Have you noticed
14:52a change in Grace
14:54since the operation?
14:56It was remarkable
14:57the difference in her.
14:59She just thought
15:00she was missing out
15:00on having a baby
15:01but she was missing out
15:03on feeling
15:03female, I guess.
15:06And did you feel
15:07differently afterwards?
15:09Yeah.
15:09I've heard people say
15:10there's that real
15:11feeling of loss
15:12and personally
15:15you grieve something
15:16and I think
15:17I probably
15:19would say
15:20I experienced
15:20that in a way
15:21but because
15:23it was a gift
15:24to somebody else.
15:25It's not gone
15:26it's just gone
15:26somewhere else.
15:27I just feel
15:28I feel so lucky
15:32to have been able
15:33to make such a
15:35difference
15:35in somebody else's life.
15:39I wondered if we could
15:40pick something
15:41from the garden.
15:44How much of it did you?
15:45I mean that's perfect.
15:47Yeah it's just
15:47to sort of
15:48represent where we are.
15:59It would be nice
16:00to see a few
16:00of you sort of
16:01maybe looking at me
16:02looking around
16:02I mean
16:03I know it's awkward
16:04when I'm sat here
16:05looking at you
16:05because I don't want
16:06it to feel posed
16:07I want you to feel
16:08like you're natural.
16:16Talk to each other
16:17about how it felt
16:18on the day
16:19that you went
16:20in for the operation.
16:21Everyone else
16:22was still up in bed
16:22asleep.
16:23One of us said
16:24to the other one
16:26I feel alright.
16:28Yeah yeah.
16:29And it was like
16:29I feel okay
16:31and then you went
16:31so do I.
16:34We just took
16:34a deep breath
16:36and just be brave.
16:38These pictures
16:39are so beautiful.
16:52I always felt
16:53guilty that I didn't
16:55that I felt
16:56as bad as I did
16:57about not being
16:57able to have kids
16:58in the way
16:58I wanted to have them
16:59and you never
17:00made me feel like that.
17:01You never needed
17:01to justify it.
17:03It was never
17:03something I was
17:04doing for you
17:05in a way
17:05it was just
17:06something that I
17:07that was for
17:08all of us.
17:09I feel glad
17:10that you can
17:11see what it
17:11means.
17:12I think that's
17:13the massive
17:13thing for me
17:14is that my
17:15life looks
17:15a lot different
17:17now.
17:19So yeah
17:19it's just
17:20yeah
17:21I feel free.
17:26you actually made
17:27me cry.
17:30Having them speak
17:31to each other
17:31like that
17:32really showed
17:32that emotion.
17:40Fabulous.
17:40I've got so many
17:41they're gorgeous.
17:42I'm glad.
17:50It's nice just to
17:52kind of step
17:52back a little bit
17:53and just watch
17:54them together.
17:56It's family
17:57it's just
17:58everybody in the
17:58family is clearly
17:59so important
18:00to each other.
18:10I don't really
18:11want people
18:11in a still
18:12moment.
18:13I want them
18:13to be as alive
18:13as possible
18:14and that's not
18:14the easiest
18:15thing to achieve.
18:16Everything hinges
18:17on getting
18:18this right
18:19especially the
18:20way I paint
18:20I can't just
18:21sort of shuffle
18:22a person over
18:23I can't redo
18:24a thing.
18:24So if you get
18:25this wrong
18:26that's the whole
18:27painting.
18:38This has
18:39probably been
18:39the most
18:40problematic
18:40painting I've
18:41ever done.
18:42So I have
18:43definitely
18:44come up with
18:45some images
18:46that are really
18:47hard to
18:47get right.
18:49There's bits
18:50of a painting
18:51that could be
18:51not perfect
18:52and you couldn't
18:52get away with
18:53and there's bits
18:53that you can't
18:54get away with
18:55and the face
18:56is one of those
19:03I've had some
19:03worrying messages
19:04from Karen
19:06and I know
19:07she's struggling
19:08with the
19:09portrait so I'm
19:10going to give
19:10her a quick
19:11ring to see
19:12how she's
19:12doing.
19:14Hello.
19:15Hey.
19:15How are you
19:16doing?
19:16All right?
19:17I kind of
19:18started badly
19:20and it's got
19:20worse.
19:21When I chose
19:22the images I was
19:23going to put
19:23together for
19:23the composite
19:24image I was
19:25going to paint
19:25I didn't really
19:26think about
19:27the angles
19:28that their
19:28faces are at
19:29and I've
19:30chosen both
19:31of the really
19:32complicated angles
19:33that it means
19:34it's really hard
19:34to get a likeness.
19:35Right.
19:36I haven't given
19:37up but it is
19:39it's an option
19:40I think I am
19:41probably I was
19:41kind of trying
19:42not to do this
19:42but I think
19:43I'm going to
19:43order a backup
19:44canvas
19:44just in case.
19:46We're getting
19:47close to the
19:47reveals.
19:48I don't want
19:49to paint in
19:50a panic
19:50and if I
19:51think this
19:51is the only
19:52option I've
19:52got then I
19:53might ruin it
19:54just through
19:55panic.
19:56You've still
19:56got a bit
19:57of time
19:57there's a
19:58very sort
19:58of narrow
19:59window of
20:00opportunity
20:00here.
20:01All I have
20:01to do it
20:02now is
20:02kind of
20:03sort of
20:03now or
20:04never.
20:04Yeah.
20:05Sending
20:05you the
20:06very best
20:07of luck.
20:08Thank you.
20:09I need it.
20:09Talk about
20:10putting yourself
20:11under pressure.
20:11See this
20:12is the
20:14problem with
20:16the way
20:17that Karen
20:18works and
20:19that is that
20:19she paints
20:21directly onto
20:22the raw
20:22canvas.
20:23It does
20:23mean you
20:25have to get
20:25it right
20:25first time.
20:26There's no
20:26real room
20:28for error.
20:36While Karen
20:37waits for a
20:37new canvas
20:38she will
20:39attempt to
20:39rescue the
20:40painting she's
20:40been working
20:41on.
20:41I'm about
20:4230 hours
20:43in which
20:45actually is
20:45still quite
20:45early.
20:46You know
20:46this I would
20:47expect to
20:47take at
20:48least 100
20:49hours.
20:49So yeah
20:50it does
20:50feel like
20:51there's a
20:52hugely long
20:53road ahead
20:54still.
20:58I think
20:59today's been
20:59a bit of a
21:00breakthrough
21:00because I
21:01feel like I've
21:02just spent
21:02days and
21:03days and
21:04days battling
21:04with these
21:05likenesses
21:05convinced I
21:07was never
21:07going to
21:07manage it
21:08and with
21:08this extra
21:09canvas just
21:11kind of
21:12begging me to
21:13give up and
21:14start again
21:17but I've
21:18done it.
21:18I actually
21:19am really
21:20happy with
21:21the way the
21:22painting is
21:22looking at the
21:23moment.
21:23I'm just
21:24feeling really
21:25good that
21:27I will be able
21:28to pull it
21:28off and
21:29pull it
21:29off in
21:29time.
21:39After some
21:40stressful
21:40challenges and
21:41the extra
21:41hours of
21:42painting to
21:43complete the
21:43portrait Karen
21:44is finally
21:45happy to
21:46reveal it to
21:46Grace and
21:47Amy.
21:48Hi Karen.
21:49Give us a
21:49hand.
21:50How are you doing?
21:50All right?
21:51I'm feeling
21:51all right.
21:51Well, it's
21:53exciting.
21:53It's all very
21:54real.
21:54It is very
21:55real, yeah.
22:00Grace and
22:01Amy have
22:01brought their
22:02mum Jane,
22:03dad Jimmy,
22:04Ben and
22:05Ari, two of
22:05the doctors
22:06from the
22:06womb
22:06transplant team,
22:07and Grace's
22:08husband Angus
22:09with, of
22:10course, baby
22:11Amy.
22:18Congratulations.
22:19guys.
22:20Cheers.
22:21Cheers.
22:22Can I just
22:23first ask,
22:24what's going on
22:25here?
22:25Well, this
22:26painting is the
22:27biggest I've
22:27ever done, so
22:28I can't quite
22:29reach the top.
22:30So you'll
22:30probably need a
22:31hand with the
22:31reveal.
22:32I probably
22:32will, if you
22:33can reach.
22:34Yeah, I
22:35think so.
22:35So, Grace,
22:36how are you
22:36feeling?
22:37I just kind
22:37of hope that
22:38she's captured
22:38our relationship
22:39somehow in
22:41the portraits.
22:43I've no idea
22:43what the
22:44portrait's going
22:44to be like,
22:46but, yeah,
22:47just really
22:47excited.
22:48I am nervous,
22:49because you
22:49always are,
22:50and you never
22:50know how people
22:51will feel when
22:52they see
22:52themselves in
22:52this way.
22:53Yeah.
22:53You know,
22:54you're looking
22:54at yourself
22:54through somebody
22:55else's eyes.
22:56Yes.
22:57It's often
22:57very different,
22:58isn't it?
22:58She wouldn't
22:59have been here
22:59without you two,
23:00so thanks for
23:00coming.
23:01It's just
23:01amazing and
23:02a privilege to
23:03be part of
23:03this amazing
23:04story.
23:05If you're
23:05ready, then
23:06I'll go and
23:07get the
23:07family.
23:08Fabulous.
23:10All right.
23:11Portrait
23:12viewing this
23:12way.
23:25Welcome,
23:25everyone.
23:26This is the
23:27big day,
23:28the big reveal.
23:29How's everyone
23:30feeling?
23:30Pretty nervous
23:31now.
23:32It looks
23:33huge.
23:37It feels
23:38real, though.
23:39There's a lot
23:40to convey.
23:41It's a bit of a
23:42challenge, isn't
23:43this, Karen?
23:43This has honestly
23:44been a really
23:44challenging painting,
23:45but it's also been
23:46incredibly rewarding.
23:47Okay.
23:48Everyone ready?
23:56Okay, Karen.
23:58Let's do this.
23:59Three, two, one.
24:04Oh, wow.
24:07Oh, yeah.
24:08I'm laughing.
24:09Oh, that's really
24:10nice.
24:11That's brilliant.
24:13Oh, that's so
24:15lovely.
24:21That's wonderful.
24:23I just think it
24:24captures us,
24:25our relationship.
24:28You can tell how
24:30much we love each
24:30other, which is
24:31really special.
24:32That's what I wanted
24:32you to convey, so
24:33thank you.
24:48You've just done a
24:49really good job.
24:52These are the
24:53precious moments for
24:54us, the one you've
24:54captured just there.
24:56It's really beautiful.
24:57Thank you.
24:58It feels like a
24:59moment that I've seen
25:00a thousand times, and
25:02it happens in a
25:03flicker, and you've
25:03caught exactly the
25:04moment where, you
25:06know, they just erupt
25:07into laughter with one
25:08another, and you can
25:10see that familiarity,
25:12that love between
25:13them.
25:13We know the story
25:14behind that, and we
25:16know how much
25:18everybody had to go
25:19through to get to
25:21that point, and I
25:22think that's why the
25:24emotion has run high.
25:28There's lots of downs as
25:30well as ups, and this is
25:32really wonderful, because
25:33yeah, this is a personal
25:35endeavour for me and
25:35Angus to have our
25:36family, but everybody has
25:37sacrificed something in
25:39order for that to
25:40happen.
25:40It's affected our whole
25:41family.
25:42It wasn't just, it was
25:43the three of us, it was
25:44everybody has helped us
25:46get there.
25:46Yeah, I hope it's just a
25:48celebration of what
25:49everyone has sacrificed
25:50for us to have this
25:51beautiful daughter.
25:53This is a story about
25:54love, and the love and
25:56bond between you two is
25:58what made the impossible
26:00possible.
26:02I'm definitely not going
26:03to cry, but I am getting
26:04shivers down my spine just
26:06thinking about it.
26:08And I think, Karen, you've
26:09just caught it perfectly.
26:16You've been through so
26:18much, but it feels like
26:20you've got this immense
26:22strength between all of
26:24you that will carry you
26:26forward.
26:26More than anything, I
26:27wanted to show your bond
26:29and the love of the whole
26:30family.
26:31The first thing you see in
26:32that is the joy and the
26:33celebration and the
26:34moments that you come back
26:36to when things are
26:37difficult.
26:37There's also the strength.
26:39I hope it shows strength as
26:41much as it shows joy and
26:43celebration.
26:44Thank you.
26:45Yeah, thanks.
26:48What Karen and I are going
26:50to do now, we're just
26:51going to step out for a
26:52minute and invite you to
26:54come forward and take a
26:56closer look.
26:57All right, see you in a
26:58bit.
26:59Thanks.
27:06It's so soft.
27:07I know.
27:08It's soft.
27:08I love that.
27:09It is just that the flowers
27:10are a special touch as well,
27:12just the way she's caught
27:13these.
27:13I can see a real twinkle in
27:15both your eyes.
27:16I know, yeah.
27:24Karen.
27:25Hi.
27:26How are you feeling?
27:27It's overwhelming.
27:29Yeah.
27:29It's just, it's a lot, isn't
27:31it?
27:32To, you put so much into it
27:34and you're not used to, you
27:35know, you're alone with the
27:37painting for weeks on end and
27:40then suddenly it's like in one
27:42enormous moment.
27:44It is such a big experience.
27:46Cup of tea?
27:47See, I don't drink tea.
27:49What?
27:54That reveal was very powerful.
27:58It was, I think, quite
28:01emotionally overwhelming.
28:04I mean, it says love and
28:05courage, sacrifice, unshakable
28:09bond between sisters.
28:12And I guess really what that
28:15moment captures is this spark
28:17of joy.
28:20And I guess I'll be right back to you
28:25and I'll be right back to you
28:25and I'll be right back to you
28:26and I'll be right back to you
28:26and I'll be right back to you
28:26and I'll be right back to you
28:27and I'll be right back to you
28:28and I'll be right back to you
28:28and I'll be right back to you
28:29and I'll be right back to you
28:33and I'll be right back to you
28:34and I'll be right back to you
28:36and I'll be right back to you
28:40and I'll be right back to you
28:55Gracias por ver el video.
