My biggest customer.... this is the 3rd sketch she has ordered from me.

Various paintings in progress!

I have had so many thoughts of paintings I would like to finalise by the end of the year that I'm not sure it's actually possible... here are some of them... however, I still have many others which are sitting in the back of my mind, waiting to be brought to life on canvas...

So nerve wrecking to take on a self portrait... but I wanted to gain confidence within myself and thought this would be the perfect task.... this is obviously one of the first layers and clearly I have a long way ahead before this is complete!

I wanted to tackle a variety of skin tones, this is my daughter hours after birth and still with a very pink, sensitive little skin... nervous about the end result but also looking forward to it.

... and the final result :-)

and finally... I came across this beautiful picture of the Drakensberg Mountians and just HAD to paint it... but with all else I've bitten off I'm not sure when I will manage to complete all these paintings.

Charcoal / soft pastel / oil pastel sketches

I'm doing a very brief series of sketches.... just for the fun of it.
