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,
whereas children are far more
expressive in that respect. I liked the
warm glow to the left of the, and the
highlighted hair, so included them."
