On a short visit back to England from France, my mother painted portraits of both Stella Fry and her son Michael Fry, simultaneously, see the diary entries for the overlapping dates. They were done as a “Thank You”. See Stella’s portrait for more details on the Fry family.

The painting is a very good likeness of Michael despite the short amount of time required for it’s completion which was mostly constrained by the availability of the subject. An interesting three quarter view instead of her more usual face on approach.
