Hambling's first encounter with Amanda Barrie was in the old Members' Enclosure during Wimbledon. They became great friends. Amanda became Hambling's muse: a muse with a sharp eye who challenged and contributed whenever they discussed work. That relationship was the inspiration for the Laugh paintings (see category towards laughter on right hand side).
