Not the same Paul as the last drawing, this is my brother. Drawn with Cretacolour Aqua Monoliths on Daler Heavyweight cartridge paper (220gsm) and is quite large for me - 12 ins high.
Superb texture in the hair ... Intriguing pose, too, as it's intimate without being intrusive. Can't help wondering what he is thinking! Really outstanding work, Felicity.
I know i've said it on Flickr, but this is a phenomenal drawing, Felicity. And the choice of a subject looking downward is very powerful. It is a tad reminiscent of the portrait of JFK in the White House.
Thanks very much everyone, I really appreciate it! France, thanks, that's quite a compliment! I haven't seen that portrait in a while - it's a great pose.
You're a star! This is amazing. I'm thinking of you there in Geneva and missing Switzerland and wondering if you've been to the new Klee museum in Bern. All his work was being restored in preparation for the new museum when I was there. Wonderful paintings to see in Switzerland though.

Thanks Wendy! I hadn't heard about that but I'd love to see it!
