It’s potentially a birthday present, Varry. I changed the canvas size, the head is larger than life-size, and I stuck pretty closely to a figurative approach. For once, I had a pretty good idea what the finished painting would look like.

Thanks John. My friend Liz hasn’t seen this yet, and it’s more figurative than usual but I was keen to catch something of her intensity.
