Brilliant as usual, Kim! The portrait is so full of life and light, and the washes have such sparkle - it's simply superb.

I'm really obliged to you for your feedback - not least because for the past few days I have been tearing up watercolours as fast as I can produce them! What a fickle business!

I like your style. Very creative.

I don't know the subject but I love your portrayal of him; wonderful choice of colours , light strokes and the way his face melts into the shadows is just brilliant
