This was very much a desire to portray the bond between a mother and son whilst he was still very much a baby, as they grow so fast.
(Of course portraits can always be done in retrospect, mind you........)
I like to think that whilst cuddling and nuzzling, she was also taking in that wonderful, heady, unmistakeably sweet aroma of her baby's head!

"Lynne - I cannot express to you in words how much the absolutely stunning portraits of my children mean to me. I am blown away by your ability to not only capture their appearance, but also the very essence of who they are. You have taken two people who are very important to me, and frozen them in a perfect moment in time. I will cherish them always. Thank you!". - Lindsay.

This portrait creates a very special memory of a very special day.

..........on their wedding day. I've always loved old sepia photos, and in this painting I've strived to recreate those colours, and also to make it appear aged and weathered

Adam is my son-in-law, and Jeremy is his brother. This was a surprise birthday gift for their "Mom". I can be extremely sneaky and devious when getting photos to work from in secret!

Another birthday portrait!
For various reasons, time was of the essence here, so a drawing was chosen, (quicker than a painting). I worked from several photos, but in each one, many of the colours were lovely soft and muted shades of blue, white, silver and grey, which I wanted to replicate.

This is my second portrait of our local "celebrity". (I have archived the first one). Most portraits usually show the subject looking straight at the viewer, and there's nothing wrong with that. But sometimes it's good to diverge from the norm. I thought I'd add a little air of mystery to this portrait, for example leaving the viewer to wonder what he's looking at and what he's thinking about.
