Ducking and Diving

That's a good study so the painting should be even better I suggest.

Building up a lot of studies for when the weather is cold

Good idea, you may then use them as kindling :) (if there's no other burning material at hand, of course)

Dont finish it I already love it its the bare bones of your work I love Dennis. Its finished and fabulous .

Many thanks Dennis the paper cockled a bit but will easily flatten behind glass at the portrait gallery

It looks complete to me, it's amazing :)

Many thanks Maria

Superb work, Dennis. The modelling is excellent.

I love the fact that there is just a suggestion of the features which leaves the viewer to fill in the rest themselves which results in the viewer engaging with the work. Surely this is what good art is all about?
