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.
