Tony & Claire Parsons, 2009
The sitter is a renowned speaker and author of several books on spiritual matters, including The Open Secret. He has spoken often at meetings and retreats all over the world, and has a large following.
His wife commissioned me to paint this portrait but, as I know that she is very much a part of his work, and is very much the feminine element in the partnership, always offering a listening ear and warm advice to people, I felt it only right to include her in the painting.
Oil on canvas, 50 x 50 cm.
The painting is in England.
