Love this Heather. You have portrayed such wonderful emotion in their faces as you can almost hear them speak. Exquisitely painted.

Thanks everyone - this was me with my son around 33 years ago (the days when so many of us had Princess Di haircuts!). Glad to leave this one behind and due to start on another any day now.
