Stephen and Charles

Charles Freyberg with Stephen and Fred

 

 

Here's the portrait hung in Stephen's flat along with the sitters Stephen, Charles & Fred as well and the lamp. The space in the painting is a reimagination of the unit including my armchair.

 

I enjoy painting portraits, including of animals. To ask about getting one, email me at subgeometer at gmail

 Now to get into the skintones, and fix wall colour so its less yellow

 I'm doing a portrait of Stephen and Charles, and Stephen's dog Fred, so I visited Stephen with Charles to do a bit of drawing and take some photos

Maybe a relative of impatiens, it has a succulent stem and leathery leaves. It does very well here in Leichhardt
