Thanks Michele, I have always been a great admirer of British figurative painters of the sixites, Graham Sutherland, David Hockney, Francis Bacon.....and I must confess to being a closet admirer of Lucien Freud. Even though I did not deliberately set out to emulate these painters in this piece, it is funny how the artists we admire have a way of stealing into our paintings. The painting by the way is oil on board.
