Episode 6

Portrait artist Caroline Pool paints Alec Burrough, an 88-year-old dairy farmer from Devon who refuses to slow down. Despite having worked on the farm for 70 years, Alec continues to get up at dawn to care for his cows and ride his tractor, working alongside three generations of his family.

Caroline is known for creating allegorical portraits that capture the character and personality of her sitters. She believes it’s more important to capture someone’s individuality than an accurate face.
