Matt by Caroline Thatcher

Looking at this lively and intelligent, somewhat mischievous face, I'm all the more sad to read that he's no longer with us. But you've caught his character in this painting.

Thank you. Yes he was outgoing and shy at the same time as a lot of young men are at his age.

Matt looks as if he was fun to hang out with - so sad to hear that this isn't possible any more. Very empathetic portrait - I can see how much you liked him. I like the style of the portrait as well.

A very good, unusual portrait of a lovely looking young man.

Thank you both. He would have loved your comments as well.

Such a beautiful painting, painted with love and so sad he is no longer with us.
