Portrait paintings, distinctive portraits paintings of enduring worth by Gordon Frickers.
A remarkably sensitive self portrait I found with notes from my college days.
The notes and sketches include the intimate thoughts of a young man pondering his future, yet to discover his calling, destiny and fate.
Frickers paintings have been exhibited at many venues in Britain and Europe including by invitation a one man show in the European Parliament.
I enjoy the challenges of portrait painting🎨.

Many of my portraits are miniature, details in sea and landscapes !
This has much truth in it as for example my “Port of Chester 1863” has 38 figures all about that size in it (seven horses, four swans and a dog peeing on a bollard).
More seriously, there is nothing so impressive in a home or office as a personalised competent portrait painting.

Aged 16 to 17 at Maidstone College of Art we drew nude models 3 x a week as part of our studies. Two of the models were quite famous🙂, ‘Foxy’ and Quintin Crisp who wrote The Naked Civil Servant.
Again at the Painting School of Montmiral in France we regularly worked with models.

However, working from photographs is inevitable.
The photographic portrait method goes back a long way, at least as far as Canaletto who used a “camera obscura”, a primitive yet effective camera.
Today we can do better than that by working from a selection of portrait photographs.
I prefer to shoot my own photographs of my subject however often this is not possible..
Portraits, painting as a ‘thank you’ for a friend to give as a gift, from a supplied photograph.
David Hockney
wrote an interesting paper on how Dutch artists used the camera obscura for portraits and still life subjects.
Painting portraits is requires special skills not unlike the skills require for ships and boats which require a solid understanding of what is behind and below the surface of your subject .
A portrait, which may of may not show the sitters in their environment, be it person or ship is either ‘right’ or rubbish, there is no half way.
Nude portraits
Portrait Paintings with 40 + years experience painting so you can expect something special.
A personal statement : I will paint portraits if asked, I like painting portraits although many of mine are details in land and seascapes so unsuitable for showing here.
I’ve been reviewing what and why I paint so thinking about this very subject among others. It occurred to me that as society, ideas, expectations, have changed radically in the past 10 years, the painting of nudes could do with an update.
Trained (Medway College of Art, photography for fashion, advertising and the press) and worked as a assistant, later as a photographer.
I can work with confidence from photographs with out making the numerous mistakes usually made by people who copy photographs.
