I love this one, and regal, and the other ones that a more flat, cropped, close ups of women, I could see you doing a whole series of these paintings that related.

I love cropped faces and always seem to go back to painting women's faces. I am always drawn to art that features women. That's one of the reasons I love your gallery so much!

Thank you, it's funny what will come out once you set down to do a piece. I was feeling sad and a little lonely when I did this one. I think it would have turned out different if I had of attempted it on a different day.

I really like this piece. I like the weathered feeling of the piece being mirrored by the subject, and the colours used. Very expressive.
