Demo 20 x 16


I started this demo Thursday and finished it off yesterday . It was of a French model,
FĂ©licie, that I used a while back.I started it to show Iain Vellacott, my approach to
painting.
It is good to see how much he has improved over the past year, in his
figurework especially.

Megan and Jamie McGurk




I have been currently working on a number of portraits recently.
A few weeks back I started sittings with Megan and Jamie,in their home in
the U.K. starting with studies in oil of both of them and then on to finish
them in my studio here,in France.One of the things that struck me about
them was their "closeness" and I really wanted to try and capture it ,
without being overly sweet.
