Rachael water colour portrait, in progress, by CP,
Christopher Pyett’s portrait of Barbara in progress, painted in gouache
The week has passed quickly, especially with a couple of days taken away from painting with family commitments.
Portrait update:
Barbara Pyett 
Wow, the Archibald, I’m impressed! Not surprising, of course. The portraits are beginning to pop.

It’s one thing to enter the Archibald Prize, another to get in, but one has to be in it to have a chance! 🙂

Chris has approached a lady, (by mail), asking if she’s willing to sit for a portrait for the Archibald…. we’ll wait and see if she accepts. I do hope so. We’re just getting him ready for the big one!!

That would be so exciting, Ba !
I can’t believe she’ll turn him down: what person in his/her right mind would ?!

Of course, one can’t take for granted that a painting will be accepted for the Archibald Prize, but I think it is time Chris started entering!! Shall, hopefully, follow that portrait’s progress, if it comes about. Shall let you know anyway. 🙂
