Looking at the detail in the knitting of the lady's cardigan I do find myself wondering is all of this really an oil painting or is it, in part, something else. It is incredibly stunning and precise detail.

Stunning.

This so deserves to sell, and I hope you get a damn' good price for it - it's a wonderful piece, minutely observed without being overwhelmed with detail and distraction.

Oh you've done this proud, considering you referenced from an old black and white photo. I love paintings like this, normal every day things. Lovely.

This is an oil painting I’ve just finished. I painted the same scene 50 years ago in watercolour but much smaller, this is 80 x 60 cms. My reference was an an old black and white photograph of this lady (Annie McGibbon) in her back yard in Belfast.
