Clive,

Not to dilute this portrait thread, but you encouraged a jump over to your site and I keep going back to "West Over McDowell Creek Road," a masterful execution that immediately put me in mind of the panoramic work of Australian impressionist and national icon, Sir Arthur Streeton.

By pulling that off, you've pretty well made it clear that you're very unlikely to ever face a portrait challenge that will stump you for long. And to quote John Houseman from the old commercial, you did it the old-fashioned way -- you earned it. Those thousands of hours are apparent.

An "About the Artist" section on your site would be a great addition, especially with some comments about training and influences. In the age of Google, no one is entirely enigmatic, but Google can't get into your head (though you may have some professional observations about that, as well.)

A pleasure and inspiration to see these works.

Cheers
