● Double Self-Portrait With Knees
24" x 64" (61 x 163cm) / Acrylic on gessoed panel / RA 2007 D-notice / Private Collection
‘Double Self-Portrait with Knees’ was painted with acrylics on a gessoed panel. The panel is 24" x 64" (61 x 163 cm) - almost life size to a piano keyboard. The idea for the painting was simple. I sit at a piano for a few minutes on most days and have done so for years. Then one day I chanced to see my knees reflected in the woodwork.
Looking closer, my eyes now fully open, I saw my face reflected, not once but twice, and at different sizes. I’d simply never noticed the reflections before. I worked on the painting for nearly a year. The painting is now in France.
