Christopher began Rosie’s portrait in November. Since then we’ve had family staying, Christmas activities and some hot days. Since the studio is not lined, it heats up and Chris paints with a wet towel around his neck with a fan on. Does that paint a quaint picture?
Rosie will come back again soon for another sitting. Chris has actually started two paintings of her, but shall just post one today. I know some of you will ask what happened to the last couple of portraits. They are still in progress too, so shall show them another time.

I love the way he paints the soul in the eyes first and goes on from there.

I think his starting point is interesting and it certainly is a great likeness. He’s got a lot of talent. Yes the picture you’ve painted of the artist in his studio has me feeling he should wait til winter before continuing or is your heat wave over?

We’ve been lucky so far, with only a couple of intensely hot days at a time! He’s dedicated and paints every day. Let’s hope there are not too many very hot day ahead!

I see Christ in this. The rectangle at top just enough to symbolize the Cross and the downward strokes His tears for us.
