Why Portrait Painting?

For me a good painting has to have a sense of mood. I like it to provoke an emotion in my viewers which (hopefully) makes them return to it time and time again. While some artists can achieve this with subjects such as seasonal landscapes, I find nothing is quite as emotive as the face or figure of the human form and so now I paint little else.

I have exhibiting membership of several large Art Societies and I was recently awarded a 'Highly Commended' for my portrait 'Little Angel' in the Kathleen Page Portrait Prize.
