First portrait of the Duchess of Cambridge - video of the artist with portrait!

Painting: "Marina"

Marina was a little girl with a lot of character, and a twinkle in her eye, a much loved youngest child. I hope that my efforts help her family to remember her the way Marina would like to be remembered. This was a commissioned portrait. Precious family photographs were my reference.



Completed in pastels and pastel pencils, on Colourfix/Colorfix board, double matted, in an ornate gilt frame.

I found this video on All for Women, which I found via The Australian Index, which explores Australian blogs.
