My nephew is a talented artist who works in the film industry. His skill is especially in models and creating super detailed pieces. As with so many in the creative arts Covid and lockdown had him stuck at home. Needing something to keep those itchy artistic fingers out of mischief, and thinking this was the time to try his hand at something he’d not done in a while he dabbled with oils.
One thing led to another and he asked if I had suitable pictures of mum and dad, his grandparents.
I needed something that captured them in their natural state…
…enjoying a glass of something hoppy – dad, and grapey – mum.

His work is an excellent example of the ways that an artistic rendering can seem more true than a photo. He did a wonderful job of really animating those still photos.
