My step-son, Dan, recently celebrated a landmark birthday, and I painted this portrait of him, using a professional photograph as reference (it was a surprise, so I couldn’t very well ask him to sit for it). I hope it reflects the handsome, intelligent and witty man that he is. Well, that’s a lot to expect. Maybe I should settle for “it looks more or less human”. Anyway, happy birthday, Dan. Sadly for the hairdressing profession, Dan has now opted for a lower maintenance do. But the tips were great to paint.
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
