rediscovered this copy of Stuart Pearson Wright's portrait of John Hurt i'd started to paint at college…he along with Lucien Freud, have to be two of my favourite portrait painters...i'm by no means the greatest painter, but i miss it nonetheless. there is a definite sense of pleasure witnessing a face emerge out of a blank sheet of paper and having time to dedicate to a piece of work.
…think i might take up life drawing again.
