I’ve been commissioned to paint an extremely personal piece for a former BT colleague and it’s something I’m more than happy to do as I know just how much Dave meant to Liz. I’m going to paint him from this proud photo, although rather than just copy the background I am going to do something different, use a bit of artistic license, to make it slightly more interesting but not so much that it takes any focus off Dave. Not sure what I’m going to do yet but as with all my work, it will start off messy and haphazard and then it will gradually develop.

19/06/16…10mins basic background for now until I decide what to do with it…
