Thank you so much for my portrait, beautifully framed and quite hypnotic. I can't stop staring at it! Not in an egotistical way, just because I really like it. It has great dynamism so much so that I dont feel I am looking at myself. I am so glad you went with the pose because I can put it up on the wall unselfconsciously. My friend who came round shortly after you left was astounded by it and really liked it which was great to see a similar reaction to mine. I know I will treasure the painting for a very long time, it will remind me of a time when I lived for the hills.
Best wishes,
Joe Simpson
