WYSIWYG by Maureen Stephenson

I'm not surprised this was selected for exhibition, Maureen. The portrayal of water drops on the shower screen is very impressive not to mention the portrait too!

I like this alot. Certainly a different take on portraiture.

Many thanks, Jane and Linda for your comments. For me, painting is more often than not a real struggle, fretting about stuff like composition, lighting and colour but for some unknown reason (probably because I didn't feel under any pressure to finish), it just seemed to work from the start. I certainly wish this happened more frequently! As far as getting this painting selected is concerned, I was thrilled to say the least.

Selected for the 'Ruth Borchard' Self-Portrait Competition and Exhibition which showed at King's Place Gallery, London last year. This took my painting in a slightly new direction. I've depicted water condensing down bus windows, reflections in harbours, seascapes etc. but I rarely knuckle down and 'do' portraiture, particularly a self-portrait behind a shower screen!
