Pamela Hill (Letters, March 9) considers Stella Vine's portrait of Princess Diana to be crude and not art at all. I would disagree.

Most competent artists can produce chocolate-box-pretty likenesses of Diana but Stella has conveyed in her work all the inner turmoil that Diana experienced during the last years of her life.

A haunting portrait indeed - Pamela Hill has obviously missed the point.
