This is a portrait of a well known Bentworth village character who alas is no longer with us. It was a joy to know Ernie and to have him sit and natter to me whilst I made this portrait. I intend to make more character heads for the Hampshire Studio Open later in the year . Initially I sculpted the head in clay and then cast it in bronze resin. That is resin which has bronze powder added to it. The base is black slate .

Here is a portrait I used for a poster. The painting an oil on canvas. I am concentrating on portraits at the
present.
