Dotty. Alla prima. by Martin Shaw

Love her look of zest for life Martin.

Excellent work Martin.

It’s impossible not to smile back! Another good one Martin.

Lovely - what a pair they make

Yes, you don't want to be the cause of sibling resentment! I think many of us find painting children very difficult - there's a tendency to sentimentalize, to start with; and a bigger tendency of get lost in faces in which there are as yet few distinguishing markers. BUT - this absolutely works, and I agree with Carole Kelly: zest for life comes thudding across at us. Get a frame around that when it dries, and your granddaughters will have a treasure which will always remind them of you.

You have capture what is behind the marks on the paper Martin. Super

Great Martin, I can only agree with most of what Robert has said.

Thanks very much to all
