About MeIn his early portraits, Peploe concentrated on capturing tonal values. In them he reveals a clear debt to Velasquez and Frans Hals - particularly in the way that he captures a momentary expression - often an open-mouthed laugh. He used professional models - such as Jeannie Blyth - and also his wife, Margaret Mackay and son Willie.More About Me
