Portraits

 I love doing portraits - not that I've done that many, but I'm working on it. I like to work from life and, although I do take a few photographs, I only use them as an aide memoir if I absolutely have to. So, if someone is prepared to sit for me I build up a really good relationship with them and this can change how the picture ends up after what might be some very different initial studies.

If you would like me to paint a portrait of you or someone you know, please get in touch and we can arrange some initial sittings - it takes several hours usually, but there is normally plenty of tea, coffee and, sometimes, cake.
