This is an oil on wood panel commission portrait I did at Christmas. 20cm x 25cm.
I like the expressive style in this painting, I've tried to focus the viewers attention on the face by concentrating the detail on her eyes and leaving the surrounding areas much more loose.

Two commissions

Two commissions, Top one is a 30cm x 40cm, lower one is 20cm x 30cm. Both oil on wood panel.

This is a "Trapiche painter" I've done this painting before.
Sometimes when I'm packing my kit for the market the next morning, I suddenly discover I don't have an image to paint and I have to go through my archives looking for a good subject.
This is Lauren my very first studio model. This is a challenging portrait, normally with a studio model you don't tend to draw too much on the likeness but Lauren has such a beautiful profile and her parents are good friends too - so I felt obliged to get it close.

I call these my "Trapiche painters" they are the little paintings I work on when I'm at the farmers market. I can usually get most of one of these done at the market depending on how many people step up for a chat, sometimes  I bring them the following week or I finish them off when I'm back at the studio.
