About the Work
Portraiture
is
invigorating,
a
place
where
the
world
stops
still
and
you
have
to
really
look
at
a
person
without
noise.
A
one-on-one
snapshot
attempting
to
capture
an
essence
and/or
presence.
I
love
to
paint.
At
the
moment
my
paintings
are
somewhat
similar
to
this
man
in
his
beret
holding
his
cigarette.
The
use
of
colour
and
big
bold
brush
strokes
is
an
appealing
aspect
I
would
like
to
learn.
