Happy new year etc to you three Very nice - I see his exposure to the french unit thus far has resulted in perfecting the mid distance gaze so liked by the painter.

You should do more portraits. This one is superb, so much better than oranges in a bowl, with all due respect.

Lovely to see portrait of Louis. Thank you.
Joyce Lowrie | January 3, 2017 7:45 PM
Exquisite!!! You could have added, with all due respect, a tiny bit of orange, since that is Louis's favorite color. The yellow shirt, however, enhances all the beautiful colors you did work with. He is a most fortunate little boy. Bonne Annee et Bonne Sante!!!

Hi Julian Great portrait of an obviously fortunate and remarkable young man. One of your most impressive paintings - did it owe something to your Mehorca escape? When will you decide about the 2017 programme? Cheers Colin
