THE SMITHERS

A private commission for a very flamboyant couple. Julie wanted to be sat in her garden with her husband at the barbeque in the background. It was suggested he should be naked apart from his apron. Without blinking an eye he got ready, lit up a cigar and strutted up to the barbeque! Julie wanted lots of references to their lives so things were carved into the wood of the garden swing; their cats were hidden in the portrait and photos of people past were blowing out of a photo album. The sitting was held on a really beautiful sunny day in Littlehampton.
