Portraits
Welcome to my Portraiture work
This section includes a selection of my work that I paint to capture a reference, mood, colour field, or technique that has appealed to me.
Portraits of my son - A remarkable model, my son, has always been an unwitting subject of my portrait paintings
Self portraits with a different lens
Portraits of my mother or other people I know, who are brave enough to let me paint them from life or from photo references.
