Thank you Tessa for your encouragement. Wanted to show quite a bit of his tie as it is such an important part of his persona. Only just joined the online site and have now posted my profile. I have been receiving the magazine for a year and am finding it most helpful in my development.

Well done, Tim! I have taught myself to paint by using The Artist...not that I'm a good advert, lol! Been receiving it for over 20 years so should be a lot better!!! This is a great portrait, so much life...and loads of love shine from it! Delightful! Oh, and by the way I'm an avid diver!!
