and yeah I know that doesnt' make any sense... :laugh: :laugh:
it is 'stronger' than some of your other paintings...

I agree, Jess, it does have a certain spontaneous, expressionistic look about it.
The strength of Daniel's personality, coupled with his melancholic Slavic angst, are the two aspects of his personality I was trying most to capture. Oh, and his physical features also, of course.

I completed this painting shortly after the death of Princess Diana. It is titled “Vale” (pron. Vah-lay; Latin - Farewell) and is dedicated to Diana’s memory. It is a large canvas at 4ft x 3ft (120cm x 90cm) and is executed in oils on canvas. It hangs in a gilt frame, on the wall above my bed, where it contributes a certain restful, serene atmosphere to my bedroom. Qualities that could not necessarily be attributed to Diana during the course of her tragically short, epically Shakespearean life. Noble birth, cloistered upbringing, royal marriage, two little princes, betrayal, exile from court, early death, entombment on an island in a lake. Yep, it was Shakespearean alright!

Hi Kerry,
The first thing that came to my mind when I looked at the "Vale" was "sunset". I felt the colours conveyd warm, heartfelt feelings. Then, I read you post.
