A beautiful little boy Diana, this is a wonderful portrait of him, so cleverly painted.

A beautiful portrait, one to be treasured.

It's a great portrait Diana, beautifully captured expression. Very difficult not to produce a rictus grimace when a child is smiling like this but you certainly haven't!

A very delightful portrait Diana.

Wow Diana, this is a beauty. You must be very pleased with it, especially as it is of someone so close - never easy to capture a very familiar face, especially someone so young. Very delicate washes.

Thank you Carole, Dennis,Sylvia, Sharon, Michael and Dennis. I don't mind face portraits but shy away from figures! Terrifying subjects!!

Very expressive and beautifully painted Diana. (I'm always surprised at the size you work at - my watercolours are usually smaller than A4, mainly because I'm never sure of the outcome and hate wasting paper and paint!)

Thank you Jenny. I only worked on 1/4 imperial for my first year and that seemed huge. I order 1/2 imperial now and am reluctant to cut it. If any paintings turn out ok, they are a decent size for galleries I'm being optimistic!

I love your work...very skilled and full of feeling!
