This was commissioned as a birthday gift for Dato' Faridah Merican. It was based on a photo of her and her husband Joe Hasham.
This was my first 'black & white' painting. In order to avoid making the figures appear too cold or ghostly (adding white 'cools' down the colors), I mixed extra yellow to the highlights.
