 I can't think of anything that brings a feeling of history into a space like an aged and distressed portrait. I try to have at least one in the booth at every show we do, and they are always one of the first things to go. While I usually neglect to photograph them, here are a few reproductions I've done in the 'flat' style of William Matthew Prior, with my own crackled, grubby twist. Sometimes done on old wide boards, sometimes canvas, and with frames built and aged by me.

  1. Daryl, these are amazing. They look so authentic. Would you mind revealing the secret of how to achieve the crackle effect.

    Many thanks
