PORTRAIT OF EMILY AND HER PUMPKIN.
I was asked to paint a portrait of this little girl, Emily, she is just so adorable, how could I say no…I was told that one of her favourite times of the year was Halloween and she just loved to pick out the pumpkin, so we agreed after I did the sketch (initial sketch) that Emily would be a harvest/field fairy along with some little harvest mice for company.
The painting was drawn first with pencil then I added watercolour to the features (just to make sure I had captured Emily’s likeness I sent the sketch via e-mail to her aunty for approval). Then I was able to continue with the painting using watercolour and pen.

PORTRAIT OF KERRY- FAIRY BRIDE
This portrait was a bit of a challenge, Kerry’s husband Gray was desperately trying to keep the painting a secret, and we were limited to the photographs we were able to use, I managed to take away the hair from Kerry’s face and by sending the sketch to her husband via e-mail we managed to get a reasonable likeness for the portrait, Kerry was a fairy bride dressed in beautiful lilac and burgundy colours, and because the painting was a first anniversary present Gray and I decided to use the colours from her wedding gown for the painting. It was lovely to finally get to meet Kerry and Gray when the painting was completed, since then I am delighted to announce that they now have a lovely baby boy called Sam.
