UK too
Hi Nicola, very engaging painting, specially him having his eyes closed!
As an Italian I LOVE British attitude toward portraits, or maybe London attitude ( I understood here everything is different from the rest of the country). There is such an open mind about portraits, style, etc., I am looking forward the RSPP exhibition in two weeks time and BP portrait award in June to see what big portrait painters are up to.

Thank you llaria.
I think it's more London attitude than British, but the open-mind thing I agree with.
The last few years it seems to be large ( 6ft by 4 ft at least) portraits with only the head. I suppose it makes the fiddly little bits easier to do..
Side note - my mother's Italian, I think their attitude to art is much better, it isn't a surprise to them the way it is here I think - course, I could be completely wrong, but that's my impression.

In Italy the tradition of portrait and especially its teaching are totally lost, I think the best teacher is an Englishman who works in Florence...
Anyhow, I was on your site, I really enjoyed your work
I.

Thank you very much 
I had a look at yours too, I like that you can see really big versions of your stuff - I like looking at brushwork, and the little bits you miss when you look at digital reproductions sometimes.
And..."undeservingly descending"? nope...

Nic,
Your portrait of the couple is fascinating, original, and quirky! I can't tear my eyes away from it. You make these people come alive! Thanks for posting it.
