Jack

Every year I donate a portrait prize to the local RSL to raise money for the Junior Snooker team to travel to National Championships. The idea is that the RSL committee raffle the prize and I paint a portrait of whoever wins.

Carnel, Bob and Jack were the winners over the last three years. I forgot to take a final pic of Jack, so the image shown is only about 75% complete.

Sandi

This is Sandi. I painted Sandi as a commission from a very small (3" x 2") black and white photograph. This was quite a challenge as I had to interpret the skin tones from the monochrome lighting and the from what I assumed was the colour of the back drop

Imogen

Rembrandt Self Portrait

Mona Lisa monochrome study

I thought it would be a challenge to paint some of the Old masters portrait paintings. This is my first attempt at Mona Lisa. She was a challenge for sure.

About 4 hours work, the backgound is a mix of Rembrandt burnt umber and Spectrum green light. This was gives the canvas an old parchment look. The study was painted with Transparent Red Oxide.
