An attempt at ferns! More difficult than I thought.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

And a VERY successful attempt - put a mount and a frame around that and I'm prepared to bet you'd have a buyer in record time.

Totally agree with Robert, great first attempt Stephen. I love it! I have one on my table and often contemplate painting it but so far haven’t had a go as it is so bushy.

There are some excellent sketches / paintings that have been done  over the last few days. My ten year old granddaughter like to keep me on my toes and try’s to catch me out . Today I had instructions to paint a wet rainy day in town , with people in fifteen minutes, using scrap paper and paint left over from yesterday. She did think I had managed it just as I went over my 30 seconds according to her , and I did shadows not people , tut tut grandad.  She is as bossy as her mum.
