Before christmas I was approached by a client and shall we say ‘a character’ from my childhood/ teenage years (;P) to paint his and his wife’s favourite pub/local for her birthday… quite the clandestine arrangement given as it was a surprise for his wife, when she asked him who he was ‘whatsapping’ all the time… I told him to tell her it was an escort girl … of the creative variety obviously!
Working from some photos and the ever handy whatsapp communication, with free artistic reign I created the following piece below, in my mothers studio, to beat the January blues, before I returned back to London… I think it came out well… and on giving it her today, he could finally explain all the frenetic ‘whatsapping’, not an escort but just a lowly painter! Happy Birthday Jane!
