Oscar aged two years

You make all this look so simple, Thea, but I'm sure it's not! It's another superb piece. As usual, I like the clarity of your washes, and you have succeeded in portraying the baby like softness of that little cherub!

I am a watercolourist first and foremost as I love the qualities of the medium, its riskiness and unpredictability. I started painting about 8 years ago and it has now become an integral part of my life. Hopefully, I will continue to paint into my dotage as I am given to understand that you can…
