Lovely portrait and use of watercolour Diana.

Seeing how successful these portraits are, I'm sure more commissions will be on the way. What a sweet little girl and gorgeous painting.

Thank you Nandhini. Alan, I’m pleased that you think that. It’s been a stressful few days! Thank you Petra and Carole. Much appreciated. That’s kind of you Ibolya but there is no way that I’ll put myself through that again for a long time! Thank you Gudrun and Andre and Gudrun. I think the vkient will want a background. Thanks Dennis Maureen and Margaret. I haven’t met the children but feel as if I know them now.

Nice work Diana. Necessarily subtle skin tones on young people. Lovely work on the clothes and sensitively vignetted.

This is the second attempt at the second sister. I think that it’s coming to a satisfactory conclusion!! I’m happier with the second ones of each girl. Maybe I took a lot more care with the observations the second time.
