The Good Neighbour: COVID-19 Lockdown Portrait

A portrait of Gwendolin, my neighbour. She is a tall, elegant, redhead of Welsh descent in her early 70s.
Painted in the artist's Australian studio during the COVID-19 April 2020 lockdown.

The elongated style is influenced by 16th century Mannerist painters Parmigianino and El Greco. I studied Renaissance History at Oxford University and these artists were among my favourites.

Comes with a Certificate Of Authenticity and is signed by the artist on the back.

Art School at 18 and later studied Art History at Oxford University. Lived in Florence, Italy for many years where I worked as an art critic. My second home is on the Greek island of Hydra. I moved there in 1986 and married French artist Michel Le Goff, on Hydra in 1993. I currently work from a home studio in Newcastle, NSW and visit Hydra, when possible.
