I'm only half way through this picture. I thought I'd put it in the blog anyway....as I have a tendency to ruin pictures in the later stages!

18th December. I'm trying to use more clear, chunky brush strokes in these two paintings.

Here are a few portraits that I've been working on in the last two weeks. Please left click in the pictures to enlarge them....they look much better!

Chika, I painted this Japanese lady on an old board of mine.

Eliza, a pastel portrait

Amy, in oils.

Sue, this painting looks a little bleached out due to shine on the wet paint. It's a real joy to paint an interesting 'character' face.
