Sir Rod Stewart's surprise for talented young artist

Nine-year-old Mairead Shaw painted an incredible artwork of the star and wife Penny Lancaster, inspired by a charity fundraiser

An incredible young artist received a surprise gift and high praise from a huge star after impressing with her stellar talents.

Nine-year-old Mairead Shaw painted an extraordinary portrait of Sir Rod Stewart and his wife Penny Lancaster, inspired by the musician offering the unique top prize of a Ritz dinner with the couple in a fundraising auction run by Maggie’s Lanarkshire.

She handed in the painting to staff at the cancer caring centre in Airdrie – along with a kind donation of her pocket money to help with their work in supporting patients and their loved ones.

They in turn were able to send the artwork, depicting the couple on their Paris

honeymoon, to Sir Rod and Penny; and Mairead recently received a special surprise when

she was invited along to the Airdrie centre when it welcomed back visitors as the latest

coronavirus restrictions eased.

Proud mum Karen told Lanarkshire Live how Mairead had begun painting commissions suggested by relatives during lockdown, saying: “She did one of a scene in Montmartre for her uncle and we were blown away by it.

“Her dad, Gary, had seen that Sir Rod and Penny were offering a prize in the Maggie’s auction; they’d been on their honeymoon in Paris so Mairead chose to do a scene showing them at the Eiffel Tower.

“She was very chuffed that Sir Rod got her painting, but she didn’t know until we went to Maggie’s recently that he’d sent something in for her, and when she opened it she was so surprised and absolutely delighted.

“He’d sent two signed photos and written her a wee message, and also said she should use the gift to buy more paints and art materials.”

Mairead, a pupil at St Barbara’s Primary, shared her success at school and is continuing to develop her artistic skills.
