Beautifully done, as usual, Diana, love the soft colours and especially the texture of her hat!

Wow Diana. That’s simply stunning! One of my favourite paintings on PoL for some time.

Love the edges you've found, and the slightly unfinished look. A beautiful accomplished portrait.

lovely watercolour Diana your fantastic

What a stunning portrait. I like how you left the background untouched. It's hard to paint children without making them a lot older looking, but you seem to live up to any watercolour challenge. I absolutely love seeing your work Diana.

That's wonderful, Diana

This is a real cracker Diana - I love it and I don't normally go for portraits.

Posted by Michael Edwards on Tue 09 Jan 07:48:26

You caught that cheeky expression, lovely watercolour, with just the right amount of subtle colour Diana.

Half imperial watercolour. I love this informal pose but was worried that the shape of her mouth might result in her looking as if shes on 50 a day! I think I avoided that.
