Back in the studio at last, working on the face of my son, who is both of the twins in this painting. I like to redefine the features of the face and hands at least twice during the process of making a painting – this is the second drawing of this face in the process of making this piece, and it’s coming along nicely. There’s lots of work to do here though, no rest for the wicked. It’s good to be able to compare the quality of this face to the earlier loose rendering that the right hand twin had.
