I enjoyed the challenge of the unusual size of this one for a portrait, following on from my lace moko series of my son Jakob from a series of photos I took about 3 years ago when he was 14. I thought I had long finished with these lace moko portraits, but I really love working in pastel monochrome, sooo another one comes out !

Selected to exhibit in the finals of the Peters Doig Marlborough Art Awards, Yealands Estate Marlborough Gallery 2018

Working on the portrait in pastel shades from black through to white and getting my hands dirty in the process!
