A new commission - 'Crumble' - a special portrait for a client's husband.

This is one of my latest paintings, selected to hang in The Mall Galleries. It is titled The Void, and examines memory loss due to Alzheimers. I have used a strong diagonal composition to create an empty space to mirror this thought, and together with a combination of high detail I hoped to create a contrast of clarity and vagueness.
I have used a limited palette to create a stillness and concentrate the viewer's eye.
This is an intensely intimate portrait of my father in law.
