Andrew and Emma

Soraya

Katherine

I think Katherine and Soraya were friends, or else it was just a coincidence that two beautiful women with rich colouring were next to each other in the queue. I use the word "beautiful" here because it is interesting, or odd, that you wouldn't necessarily know this about them from reading my portraits, which fixate on details.

Pattie Watts

Some people who sit for me tug my heartstrings for days afterwards, such as Pattie Watts, her face still clear in my mind, as though I missed something, or did her a wrong, or should have done something differently.

Susan

My professional pride suffers when I think of this portrait - such a wonderful face, and I was just a bit too hungry to describe her properly. And the carbon paper had a big crease in it.
