Say hello to John, my ace accountant. John popped in today for the annual end of financial year chat, and to see the new studio. He wanted to see how everything worked, so I got ONE shot of him, and this is it!

Did he get to keep the print, and (more importantly) was it tax-deductible?

I had a bit on canvas left over on the end of a roll - so I printed a 22 x 15. Left it with his wife - hope he liked it

Hi Colin,
Not that I have an experienced eye, but one thing that strikes me in this portrait is that I see many patches of bright areas scattered around. Specially on his face, could it be that his skin actually like that?
