Well, since the the performance is less than a week away, I thought I should finally upload this! A friend/peer of mine has written a musical of Oscar Wilde's novel, and last summer he asked if I would produce the portraits needed. After a bit of negotiation, I agreed to do four portraits of the lead singer at an A4 scale and have them printed large enough for the stage. I took the photos in December, and spent the latter half of January drawing and painting them. They are now ready and waiting to be in the production, which I'm also playing viola in.

I am very proud of what I have achieved with these paintings, and I will upload the rest of the set after the production. I don't want to go giving spoilers!

The production will be on Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd February 2013 at the Cardiff School of Music. Tickets are available here.

Aw, that's very kind of you to say. I've been painting on and off for quite a long time, and practice helps me to get better.

Thank you! I think that is one of my stronger points with painting. :)
