My latest project is a commission for a friend he has asked me to paint a portrait of his daughter. Its taking some time and will be a while until Im ready to present. Such personal things portraits I need to capture the essence of the little girl as seen by her Dad and that is tricky. So I shall spend some time looking and seeing and listening to him talk about her this will all add to the end product. Update to follow. In the meantime Ive been tackling some seascapes. Something a little different for me is the surf wave I have just painted Ill post it later. Ive captured the wave I think quite well.

Ill keep you all updated on my latest cityscape 2008-8-31T00:00:00Z
