Again as with Caroline's portrait the client wanted a more painterly feel with brighter colours to portray the feeling of youth and energy, while leaving detail to only a few features.
The blue in the background proved to be just the thing against his warm skin and is also seen in his eyes and so not just isolated at the top.

"Thank you, we love this portrait of our david when he was young. It will take pride of place in our lounge".
