I love the emotional quality this painting has. Captivating. And the way you painted your child slightly out of focus leaving the main focus on your face and eyes in particular.

Thank-you very much Alan. It's fortunate that the child's out-of-focus quality does work, because he wouldn't sit still long enough to get more detail in it!

Thomasin, one leaves for a few days and you just land this new benchmark for us all!

A couple of questions because I am not sure I can overcome envy and a flow of negative feelings upon my own work right now.
-Do you work in natural light and use the spot to enhance colours? When i add artificial light everything just seems to become duller!
- Your paintings seem to have a lot of texture, is that just paint build up or do you work on a gesso textured surface?
