I tried everything I could do to win her heart back. This second painting is a testament to how I tried

  • A small painting and quite a challenge to paint.
  • I had initially hoped Carolyn would want this but after she had seen a photograph online she told me it was ‘crap’.
  • I hope one day she will realise what a beautiful work of portraiture it actually is.

The story behind Carolyn 2

This is the most technically accomplished portrait that I have done. It is a master at the height of his powers. Intended to impress my ex-girlfriend, I pulled out all the skills I possess in painting this photorealistic work of art. When I showed to Carolyn, she was not impressed at all. She hated it so much she even had a legal restraint imposed on its publication. Which has now lapsed.
