THE ENGINEER Acrylic on Linen 26 cm high x 26 cm wide NFS Artist’s Statement Last year, I painted this portrait of Russell, a Mechanical Engineer and talented designer. Being in Covid lockdown at the time, painting in monotone seemed appropriate - many dimensions of life were diminished so removing colour matched the mood of the time. Russell’s wedding anniversary party had to be cancelled so I also painting a portrait of his wife as a matching pair to this work to help them celebrate that milestone. |
