Portrait Of Gina
I used to draw, draw, draw when I was a teenager. (I am now 52)
Then I gave up, until my sister talked me into going on a painting week-end with her, about 4 years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I took on tasks to paint people's houses, but with pressure of work I gave up.
I have now started again, and hope to give up work, or find a part-time job so I can start my own business selling my paintings (anyone have any tips/ideas etc)?
I found this picture of my niece - Gina - who will be in her thirty's now (hence the horrible dress)! This is the first time I have tackled a portrait, and was quite surprised it wasn't as hard as I thought.
**Note from Kerry:
Hi Jean, this is well done for a first go at a portrait. Good on you, I'm so pleased you have taken up drawing again. Your life will definitely become richer.
