This is one of the preparatory sketches for a painting I have wanted to do for years. It’s a particularly meaningful piece to me which is why it’s taken me nearly 10 years to finally build up the courage to commit the image in my head to paper. Being a perfectionist about my work can be a good thing but likewise it can prove to be an albatross. I know that I will be greatly disappointed in myself if I cannot do this image justice, but I have now realised that it’s better to attempt it then not to try at all.

I am quite sure that I shall be working and reworking this painting for a long time to come and I am looking forward to the challenge.
