Thanks for the comment Ralph. I remember an article some years ago by Derek Hanson about painting white. It was stuck at the back of my head till I painted this one.
Oil over acrylic.

Hi Bob!

Nice work mate!
I´m also take my photos in daylight by indirect light from a window but I use a black background and the results IMHO are good.
With a tripod / automatic timer the result is even better.

Cheers,
Pedro.

Kevin and Pedro,
Thanks for the comments, I hope to get better at this lark of taking photos and I thought painting was a nightmare.
Regards
Bob
