F(L)AT WHITE

This piece is complete I just didn't want to post any intermittent shots of the work before I finished, but I forgot to take the final shot before I handed it over to the person who the portrait is of, he will be known as Mr R, and  he is a great friend and support. I thought of doing this out of sheer ambitious desire, apart from the recent one of myself I haven't really been in to doing portraits, but I have been attended some life drawing sessions where I think this "desire" was spawn....

The final shot is my work space, a little blurry but just the way things are when I paint "blurry"...it's bizarre how things can get out of focus when I'm right in it I don't even notice(unless they announce themselves) when people come in..
