James Keir Hardie

While waiting a) to upload my revised website, b) for the paint to dry on my oil study of JKH, I did an acrylic - somewhat loosely based on him, working on old, small, monochrome photographs taken over a 40 year period isn't easy - using the same build up from monochrome to glazed final result.  I've put it on the Gallery at Painters Online (www.paintersonline.co.uk) as well.

In this one, he's looking straight at you - I got the impression he was trying to tell me something unflattering.........
