This is a portrait I did of the world renowned potter and fellow animal lover Chester Nealie. I had the pleasure of spending a delightful day at his and his equally talented partner Jan Irvine Nealie’s place Goanna Ridge. I painted this as a challenge with a plan to paint a more ambitious portrait of him with either birds or one of his beloved goannas… It is still in my exhaustive to-do list when I get time…
