    These little canvases make fantastic quirky gifts, they are very affordable to frame too. Yayoi Kusama (available) & Robert Smith ( now sold) looking better with a coat of varnish this morning.

    Thank you Vincent

    Thank you Vincent

    I received some extremely sad news today- my wonderful art teacher Vincent Wilson passed away last night. Vince was the reason that I do what I do, lifelong inspiration. I painted this portrait of him at the end of last year, he was so delighted with it that it's now in his home. A very successful artist, he was a member of the Newlyn & Penwith Society of Artists. I will miss him enormously.

    I always start with the eyes. When we engage with someone, regardless of whether we are doing the talking or listening, we look into the person's eyes- that is the point of our attention. So, it's essential that I get that right- if I do, everything else just falls into place.

    Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award

    Following my portrait of Max featuring in the Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer Portrait Award exhibition in the National Portrait Gallery London last year, the exhibition tours to the Laing Gallery Newcastle at the end of the month. It can be seen there from March 28 - September 5th. Delighted that it will continue to be visited by so many people, such a privilege.

    Filming in my studio

    Filming in my studio

    Had an interesting afternoon this week in the company of these talented young people making a documentary. Having some interesting and challenging questions thrown at me - a useful exercise having to explain why I do what I do and how, when generally it happens on autopilot without me having to reason the process. Thanks to Max, Stasia & Ellie from Plymouth University.
