Giggles in the sun

I really liked this colourful photo of a dad enjoying smiles with his son, so I painted it in pastels. It was a delightful exercise in colour, especially the shawl, as well as working to capture the figures.

Nepali youth

A graphite copy from a photo. He’s scowling because of bright sun and concentration.

The Singing Butler – copy

A neighbour suggested I copied this, she loves the original by Jack Vettriano. I liked Vettriano’s paintings from when I first saw them in the ’90s but I feel he gets a bad deal, despite prints of his paintings selling in their thousands world-wide, he has a bad reputation in the ‘art world’ and none of his paintings are hung in major public galleries. I like the illustrative quality of his work and the way he constructs strong images from photographic reference. It made sense when I read that he has likened his work to Norman Rockwell who was a great illustrator.
