Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse's manager has bought her a painting - which depicts her as a housewife.

The troubled singer was delighted when her manager Raye Cosbert presented her with the Gerald Laing work, which depicts her vacuuming a living room carpet and quickly hung it in her London home for all her pals to see.

Raye said: "She absolutely loves it. It takes pride of place in her home."

Explaining his inspiration for the series of pictures he created of Amy last year, Gerald admits he felt compelled to paint her because he is obsessed with her constantly chronicled life.

The 74-year-old artist - who first became famous in the 1960s and whose pieces sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds - said: "I think she is an icon and I am fascinated by her.

"Every time you see her, even when she has had a night on the tiles, certain things - her make-up, her beehive - are always intact.

"I've had the chance to meet her but I prefer to see her as most people do - through the newspapers."

Gerald produced several works featuring Amy, including one of her passionately kissing husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who she is now divorced from.
