Here is my latest portrait: my friend Avye Leventis -yogi, acrobat, and actress extraordinaire.

I am very happy with the compositional balance of this painting, and enjoyed developing my colour layering and glazing process. I also managed to make less mess than usual, which really is progress.

As always, if you fancy having your portrait painted just drop me a line.

I have been busy working on this portrait of my friend Mr JRampling.

I have a few people lined up to paint but, as I have said before, if you would like to me to do your portrait then just email me or the like.

A portrait in oils of Caterina Davison, who is a pal of mine from my uni days in Bristol.

I already painted her (now) husband Rog How a few years back, so now I have the pair. It’s always good to have the pair, according to David Dickinson off of Bargain Hunt.

Cat has a stunning line in bespoke designer jewellery for which she is currently gaining all sorts of plaudits, which is well worth checking out. Apparently she destroyed some very expensive lasers coming up with her designs, which is always a good sign.

I am looking to expand my portfolio of portraits,  and am on the lookout for subjects to come and sit for me. So if  you are interested, I can offer a comfy seat, excellent tea and fine banter…
