Title : Chloe

Oil on Canvas

Private Collection

20 x 16 inches





"This painting captures a rather fleeting expression that happened early into
the sitting. Not yet entirely relaxed, Chloe was observing me as closely as I
was her - if not more so! I thought this slightly wary expression was so
natural - adults go to great lengths to hide such feelings of doubt, whereas
children are far more expressive in that respect. I liked the warm glow to the
left, and the highlighted hair, so included them."
