A quite large oil on canvas portrait of Lorna from 1991. This one is stored away rolled up with other canvases but I just spotted a photo of it on my camera rolll. She was a frequent and very patient sitter for portraits when she lived nearby and has several of them (more available!)

Weird. When I was 16 I met this girl at school who chatted me up one day. She flirtatiously asked "Will I see you at the staff meeting later?" I said "No, I'm a student." She turned beet red & ran off and we spent the rest of the school year avoiding eye contact BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT'S DONE, CREEPO!
