21st Birthday

I’ve always been relatively decent at drawing, but that is all I’ve done, but for Christmas 2017 I asked for a set of oil colours. As soon as I got them, I set off. I knew what I wanted to paint, a portrait of my daughter on her 21st birthday. I drew a grid on the canvas a copied a line drawing across and then set to work. It just seemed to flow so easily and was a pleasure to work with. I was soooooo happy with the result it now sits in pride of place above my fireplace. Here is a picture but I’m afraid it’s not a particularly good quality photo so I do apologise. I really must take a better one.
