It took a while to finish and then another while to dry followed by a further while to find a suitable collection date. However, after all those whiles, Lauren and Steve have seen it now and taken it away so I can finally post the finished image.
So, erm... Here you go.
I have learned SO much from completing this one. It has effected everything that I have painted since. Of course it would be very different if I were to start again and it would take half the time! It is not perfect, but it is a painting not a photo so I am calling the imperfections artistic...
The relatively newlyweds seemed happy with it. So Phew...
They brought me very lovely beers and a fine bottle of gin when they picked it up, so I love them even more now.

Onto the next thing I guess.
Which is Sheffield's Art in the Garden's Portraits of Distinction.
This year the subject is Pulp drummer Nick Banks.
I came second place last year so I will just have to try harder this time wont I?
I feel that it is coming along quite well so far.
