Boy with Knee Up
This is quick one I did to accompany the others to the Blackheath Gallery. It is 20" x 16", oil on canvas.

I like this very much Thomasin. His face just pops out of the canvas. Has the same sculptural quality I admire in your other paintings.

That is really nice, I love the palette you've used, it really glows. Another of your angelic son?
Does he sit for you? My eight year old is becoming phobic of cameras and pastels, now refuses to cooperate. Money may have to change hands....

I don't have anyone around to bribe. My models cost me bucks. Drat!
Lovely painting. I love the somewhat gritty background with the smoothness of the skin.

Thanks Margaret. Yes, it is my son. He didn't sit this time (I don't think he can sit still!). It was from a photo.
Thank-you Sharon. I like to brush the texture of the canvas and under-painting as though I were feeling it with a finger - it makes for a lightness and freshness. It's the unfinished stage that keeps the painting breathing.
