Who I voted for
 |
| Winner of the BP Portrait Award 1993 (crop of) Two Figures Lying inward a Shallow Stream (1992) by Philip Harris oil on canvass 72" x 48" |

- two figures non merely one
- one clothed together with i nude - together with then peel together with textiles
- hands together with feet equally good equally faces
- the best background e'er - the stones together with detritus of a flow bed
- an implied story equally good equally a peachy figurative paradigm together with 2 first-class portraits
