I met Matt outside the post office. He was unable to come to the opening so I invited him for a private showing so he could check out his portrait.

Paint until I drop

Its now time to paint, paint, paint… There is still much to do and time is running out, but there’s plenty of adrenalin running free with the end in sight. Hopefully this will get me through to the deadline.
This painting is well on its way.

For the final show all the source material will be removed and the exhibition will follow more traditional lines.

Not so squeezy

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.

This has been a tricky one to do but I am slowly moving forward, although I have had to go back slightly with Michael to get it right.
