Aunty Dorothy

My first commission came from my cousin who, impressed with the portrait I did of my Dad, requested one of her mother (my Dad’s sister).

A difficult challenge, as I wanted to reflect my memories of her as a very warm and dignified lady (my Uncle was an elected town Mayor which meant my Aunty was in the public eye a lot as Mayoress).

But I also wanted to paint a true likeness for her family, that captured for them, memories of a loving mother and grandmother.

Fortunately, both the family and I were happy with the end result, with none of these key elements being compromised.
