This portrait study from Cathy Barber displays a wealth of texture and detail. The hair, beard and the wrinkles on the face are all particular highlights, and the twinkle-eyed facial expression is brilliantly captured. A fantastically executed piece and one of which Cathy should be very proud!

Plenty of other images caught my eye on my trek for this week’s Picture too. Theodore Miller’s Elk Brush is another highly textural piece in smooth, clear autumn colours. Gramarye by Maggie Barra is an intriguing fantasy image, as is Ray Kamizoe’s bright, anime-influenced Fairy. Miriam Montagni’s Fantasia piece boasts some incredibly detailed, stylised background patterns which are just delightful, while Cuyler Smith’s Creative Thought is an interesting blue-toned little piece that displays some real skill with light and shadow. And I also got a chuckle out of Frederick Taylor’s The Future comic strip.
