Having painted out the previous attempt of the John Calvin Christian school group,  I am much happier with this one even though I can see that the head sizes need to be adjusted.  Instead of having everyone in a single row (as in the photo)  I have moved the children in front which means I can now paint them at a better scale which isn’t so squeezy and it now fits in with the other paintings too.

Tony made time from his busy schedule yesterday to come and check out his portrait.  He is well know locally for his dedication to the community through his voluntary work.  So far this year  he has put in over 600 hours of voluntary work, good on yer Tony.

Kim has been waiting for his eyes to appear on his portrait for a while now.  So kim, here you are.

Although its a bit late in the day, I have decided to admit defeat with this painting.  I have tried so hard to make it work but it just isn’t going to happen.  Although its going to make the task of finishing on time for the wind up all the harder, it just had to be done.

Primed for a restart.
