Portrait Commissions

As I mentioned in my last update, I have completed the military portrait for my nephew and also the QARANCs Captain portrait. My nephew was very pleased with his painting and it is now framed and looking good. His mate, the other guy in the painting, also wanted a copy, so my wonderful framer took a photo of the original before framing it and transferred the image to canvas. It looks great, same size as the original but just a little darker in tone and contrast. That will now be posted off to Sydney.
I was very small when I began to draw so I can’t remember when it all started. I do remember that as a little girl my bedroom walls were covered in my drawings of horses and animals and that I wrote my own stories and illustrated them - I still have some of them today.
