Gavin
When Gavin received his portrait he wrote this on his Facebook page: 'I’m not photogenic and am rarely comfortable with photos of myself and to be suddenly faced with my physical - and, I suppose - mental scars that I usually hope nobody can see - and to actually like them as part of myself for the first time was unexpectedly life affirming. I think it says a lot about art - and a lot about Andy’s talent for painting a person, rather than just a portrait. So at last, officially, I am in fact an oil painting after all'.
