Pat the Historian

Oil on canvasboard, 40 × 50 cm.
Painted from life in about 3 hours.
I’ve started actually painting with oil paints, after being blocked for so long. I used Windsor and Newton water mixable oil paints, lovely to use. Pat, as the title says, is a historian, and he has an interesting face to paint. He really liked the result too and that is always the test of a portrait!
