Jon Re-Living The Moment
Something a bit different and experimental - tried a different way of tackling a portrait. This portrait is of my son-in-law, Jon, who challenged himself to cycle up Mt Ventoux while we were on holiday in Provence this year.

Well - he did it in an amazing time of 1hr 40 mins, which is a great achievement. We met him at the top with croissants, coffee and lots of congratulations. Later that day, while sitting in a cafe, I caught him staring into the distance and I knew exactly what he was thinking and that he was re-living that wonderful moment when he achieved his dream. Watercolour on Langton 140lbs.
