    Hi Simon…thankyou…I’ve have done a lot of work before I started Redbubble…I’ve done a lot of my own work plus so many commissioned pieces. It is something I have to do !

    I can see why you get so many commissions. Your portraiture is excellent. Everything is beautiful in this painting, but my eyes become fixated on the hand. What great talent it takes to get a hand so expressive.
