Very good Gary, I like those expressive hands they match up with Olivia’s lovely smile.

Thanks John. I had trouble with the hands - something I need to practice.

You've created a portrait full of life and character of your lovely daughter. She'll soon grow up so it'll be something to treasure, always.

I've just deleted a previous gallery image is it was really dark. Here's a corrected version of the portrait painting of my daughter. The people are based on drawings by Olivia of her family (yes that's me in the blue!) Oil on extra fine linen board. 40 x 30 cm.
