Very nice work, clive.
To echo what others have said, I am taken by its simplicity and elegance, the very two qualities that I always look for in a portrait.
I also went in your site and I like your work very much. The "Doctor and her Dog" piece reminds me of old renaissance and baroque portraits wherein elements closely linked to the sitter were always included in the final work.
Congratulations!

Clive, what a lovely portrait of your daughter! I am constantly drawn to her pretty blue eyes.

GREAT simplification and massing of values and terrific abstract design, apart from the emotive quality.
Really fine, Clive.

Clive,
I agree with Tom that the abstract shapes created by the figure and background, and the simple value massing, are extremely successful. It is a great portrait. It really speaks to me! I also like the point of view (looking slightly up?) and your daughter's expression and dress. The flowers could have been just too trite but in this painting they are amazing!
