Part of a new work (in progress)

I am currently busy in the studio working on a series called “Cafe Girls”.. just thought I would share part of one of these large oils with you guys.
I’ll post the full picture(s) when they are finished or near completion..

Keep painting and drawing everyone!

    you have the talent, no doubt of that. It speaks to me of a fish eye camera lens used in the most creative of ways, I think it’s perfect now!!

    Leith when I saw this image on the home page I just knew it had to be yours! I wish I could develop my own style, but alas am still looking for my niche’!
    I love the innocence of those gigantic eyes, the colour and dramatic tones. Beautiful!

    Hi Leith, this painting is so compelling…the proximity of observer to subject makes this such a gutsy achievement. keep up the great work mate, Paul
