Lancing digital artist captures Captain Sir Tom Moore’s ‘great spirit’ in portrait

Chloe Mayfield’s drawing of the centenarian got hundreds of likes and comments on Facebook.

The portrait took the 22-year-old 32 hours to draw using an ipad, which she said was ‘quite good for me’.

Chloe said Sir Tom’s fundraising efforts during lockdown, which raised almost £33m for NHS charities, were ‘amazing’.

“It’s a shame he had to do it, the NHS should be funded by other people,” she said.

“It’s still amazing. I don’t think I’ll be doing that when I’m 100 years old.

“He has great spirit.”

She is hoping to gift the portrait to a charity.
