This painting was an early practice piece I did as a beginner at a workshop held by MIWAS. It was based very loosely on a painting I had seen by a brilliant artist called Bob Kuhn. I put it in for comment at a critique at the end of the workshop. It was severely but very constructively criticised by George Woodford. I learned so much from his honesty & went away to practice, practice, practice. The painting above is the reworked finished version, which has great personal value to me.
