This painting is modeled on one by the American artist John Currin. I started it about nine months ago, but halted work because I couldn't get the hair right. Today I had another go and got to as near to completion as I will every get it. I am pleased with the solidity and roundness of the head and with the ambiguity of the expression: is it agony or ecstasy?
