Sky PAotY - does anyone remember

I think it was on Sky Portrait Artist of the Year a few years so…a man had painted a self portrait. It was his side profile and he was wearing a big fisherman’s waterproof jacket, maybe yellow. It was quite a blocky style (the jacket was triangular, mostly block colour), not like Beryl Cook but something vaguely similar.

He might have been from the south cost of England but maybe not! I really liked his style and thought I’d look him up to see if he sells prints or anything. Does anyone know who I mean?

Yes I actually do remember him! If you go to the PAOTY website they have lists of contestants, should go that far back you should be able to find him? I'd have a look myself but I've just woken up.
Bet you can track him down @Tapsaffweather
I reckon it was about 4 years ago?

Got him, Mark Oliver! Thanks @heldinadream I was in image search and missed the back catalogue - I have a feeling I’ll be lost in a rabbit hole of pleasant browsing this morning going back through previous years. What a lot of talent!

Wow well done @Tapsaffweather ! That was quick.
Interesting we've both remembered his work, sign of him being a good artist I reckon.
