So, guess what?  Out of the blue I recieve an email from Sarka the girl I have just finished painting.  I had only met her briefly, just long enough to take a few snaps.
Turns out that she was just passing through London for a few days.  She also has a fashion blog that is amazing and well worth a visit. 
She was kind enough to post my painting on her site.

The mystery is over. She is movin and shakin, living in the Czech Republic, very talented and creative. 

Been working hard on the portrait of Rita from The Hard Rock Cafe.  All those badges not to mention her MBE are taking ages.  Thought I would post a preview shot taken at my work station at home.  A lot more to do but should  be finished in a couple of weeks...now, to catch that cheeky smile and twinkling eye!
