Self portraits give us a deeper insight into our favourite artist’s creative mind. They reveal aspects of the life outside of their art and the artist’s self perception. An artist’s muse reveals a great deal about them too, the people they love, and their furry companions! Take David Hockney’s ‘Dog Day’s’ for example. Pete has created a combination of the two, with ‘Your Majesty’. It’s a heart warming self portrait featuring Pete’s beloved chihuaha Eric! Pete shelters Eric from the rain leaving himself to get wet, and Eric to be protected. This is a tonal piece which will be finished off with an ode to the great woodblock artist Hokusai.
