St. Hubert



Oil on wood panel 8" x 8" £65 plus postage & packing

This is called St. Hubert after the Brussels "Galeries St. Hubert" (for non French speakers pronounce it "Sant OO-bear") which you see in the background (anyone who read the first version of this would notice the mistake I made in first calling them Galeries Lafayette). This young lady looked so vulnerable and slightly troubled but she had a wonderful, sweet face which would have been marvellous to capture in more detail in paint.
This is from a second set of images I have tried to shoot of this painting. As I often work in quite subtle, more monochrome colours, I find it really difficult to capture the slight variations in the painting.
