Jonathan

After I was asked to paint Jonny, a senior solicitor, I initially considered creating a formal piece to fit his profession.

However, during a relaxed lunch with him at his country house, I realised this wouldn’t do justice to his deep character, which although wise was also full of playful mischief.

I worked to produce a portrait reflecting this, conveying the twinkle in Jonny’s eye and his slightly humorous, quizzical and challenging expression.

I further highlighted his energetic nature by using quick brush strokes and decided upon a composition consisting only of his face since his facial expressions conveyed his personality so clearly.
