Skinnydipping 30 x 20

I have always loved Zorn's outdoor nudes and wanted to try that same subject matter.
This was done from a series of studies that I did last September.

Portrait commission of Hamish

I flew to London to meet Fergus and Hamish,

This one is just finished(I think !)continuing
from the 2 hour sitting,I have refined the likeness
and modelling,with a sable brush,putty eraser and vine
charcoal.

Richard III

This portrait of Richard Smith was completed from
my 3-4 hours study and photo Reference.
I used very long brushes which allowed me to paint
from a distance of about 1m.It is something I used
a few years ago and it lends itself to a more painterly
approach.
