It has been a departure from my usual work which is very much based in full daylight and with contemporary figures. . . but it has been a blast developing and using these new skills.
This is a painting of Sarah Kershaw, the talented Pianist in the ensemble.

This painting has just been accepted into the Royal Society of Portrait Painters 2009 annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries, London.

Hi Nigel,
Stunning work! Very nice work.
This is the first time I've visited your blog. I like the real figures in such wide open spaces. The self portrait is great. well done. Self portraits can often come off as self-depreciating or pompous. Yours is very real and I love the chiaroscuro. nice work
