This was painted as part of the Victorian Artists' Society Portrait Painters in Action day 2025.  The day is a hive of activity and should more accurately be called the Portrait Painters Action day as it's the opposite of inaction.

And many many thanks to Mr Andrew MacKenzie OAM for being a patient and considerate sitter.
