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.

This has probably been the most frustrating portrait to do. I took it from an old black and white photograph, cut and spliced so the two figures were closer. The canvas size is smaller than my usual (30cm x 36cm) so the figures are also smaller. I also have learnt the hard way to check out how well my canvases are primed before I start because this particular Daler Rowney board clearly shouldn't have got past their quality control - very rough and bumpy making is almost impossible to get clear lines.

I started to paint in 2018 . I started with acrylics and now use only oils and mainly canvas on board. Most of my portraits are 38 cms x 60 cms or thereabouts. Am still on a big learning curve but really enjoying the process and discovering new techniques very step of the way! I go to art class…
