In the case of ‘Portrait of a Scottish Poet and Painter’ (one of many of this stunning beauty scattered randomly among the chaotic pages of this website) I responded to requests to exhibit an image as a work-in-progress, and so I displayed the half-finished canvas which, at that stage, I guess showed my muse in what seemed an unequivocally mutilated state. Subsequently she attacked me in an internet café, and, thrilled by her fiery beauty, I painted her obsessively to produce another eight portraits of her from memory which my Facebook followers count among my most powerful and beautiful paintings.
