Lara

I've captured my wife, Lara leaning forward out of the darkness to draw the viewer to look closely at her. To take her in and be held hostage by her soft tender eyes and classical features. I've strived to show her unblemished beauty, her grace, tenderness and strength. This portrait is a heartfelt tribute, expressing my deep affection and love for her.

I create portrait art on canvas with oil paint. Carefully I observe, then slowly sketch form and outline. Then add colour, depth and contrast.

I want to attract the viewer with a likeness which is familiar and recognisable. Then keep the audience searching for character, personality and energy.

There is such a challenge in portraiture. There is such a thrill to see lines, strokes and colour transform into human form. I’m inspired by identity, story and temperament coming to life in art.

I want to create artwork which catches your eye, that you can’t stop looking at.
