My daughter Shauna by Libby Thompson

It is because you know them so well that you don't look at them as you do at strangers. Their features are so familiar to you and you're not objective!! I know the feeling. This is so very well drawn, I hope she is pleased about it!

It's a beautiful portrait Libby and I'm sure your daughter must have liked it - knowing daughters she wouldn't have let you post it otherwise...

Thank you both and I think you are right - you are too close to the subject to be entirely objective. Oh, and yes she loved the picture but she doesn't know that I have posted it on here, but I am sure she won't mind!!!
