Stone Heart
27cm x 41cm. 10.6 in x 16.1in.
Oil on stretched canvas
Does a portrait tell a story? I think it should, or perhaps when an artist paints a portrait then there is a story in mind. This is my daughter, with the world in the palm of her hand; there is nothing that she cannot do. Looking back I think that we all go through that time in our lives but all to often it passes before we realise it. I wanted to catch it here. She hasn't got a stone heart by the way, quite the opposite, she is holding one, found on the beach.
