Listening to Tchaikovsky and painting Anna

I'm no good at painting portraits.

I prefer to paint landscapes, yet I keep trying to paint portraits

This is one of a handful of portraits I've done till date

 

I've been listening to Tchaikovsky since I was a child growing up in Africa.

My dad had a fantastic collection of Classical music which he would play for us.

This is the Hymn of the Cherubim (Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom, Op. 41)

This has to be one of the most difficult paintings I've done, 

And that's what happens when you aren't good at painting portraits
