This series of paintings have been inspired by a friend's photo of a friend who is a journalist in Afghanistan. The two portraits - the first one is of a ethiopian woman (from Time Magazine - with very searching eyes). The second one is an image that developed as I painted it - using the textures and so on as they appeared. With each painting I have felt very medieval and then classical as you can see I am using columns and statues in the background. I have a few more canvases to go.
