Happy New Year to you, too, Ros - and thank you.

That's because I was in Cornwall, Helen :-)

Super, happy portrait Amanda. We always look a bit tense in self portraits, due to our concentration level but here you have managed to smile!

Is this the same Amanda Bates? Looking forward to the next stage.

Yup, still me, Marjorie. What a difference a hair cut makes, eh?

Much prefer this as you look happy Amanda.

A very good self-portrait. I love using primary colours to paint. All the tertiary mixtures can be made on the paper, and it works really well I think. Looks a lot more lively than mixing in the palette I find.
