From the first stroke to the wooden crate

Neil's portrait begins in pencil. Then comes the colour: the sky, the meadow, the patterned shirt. The last details of the face, the varnish and, finally, the wooden crate that carries it home.

The pencil drawing of Neil's portrait, with the tree and the rose just sketched
Sky and meadow already painted, the face still in pencil
The patterned shirt and the fuchsia rose painted, the face still white
Neil's face halfway: the skin tones take shape
Eyes and skin completed, the hair still to paint
The grey hair painted: the work is almost finished
The completed portrait, with the countryside and the tree
The finished, signed work, with its yellow and green edge
Detail of the eyes and the grizzled beard
Detail of the fuchsia rose, petal by petal
The edge of the canvas painted yellow and green, with the ear and the smile seen from the side
The gloss varnish on Neil's portrait, with reflections on the surface
The work in its wooden crate, ready for the journey
The work seen from the front in the wooden crate, between the slats that protect it
