I liked the relections in the tuba and the artifical light draped across his face. He was the tubist playing in the world orchestra at the Albert hall summer proms this year. Below are the 4 stages of the painting as it progressed

Peonies.

A painting by Charles Edward Perugini titled 'Peonies'. It was painted in 1887 and hangs in the Walker art gallery in Liverpool. The peonies are painted beautifully and thus I just wanted to paint the flowers ad the basket. So this is a copy of just the bottom section of the painting.I dont think I have done this beautiful painting any justice....
