Evie, a Christmas commission

Here is my latest portrait. It’s Evie. This commission was for a surprise Christmas present. It was my first portrait done purely from photos, (I hadn’t met Evie). Fortunately just as I was finishing the painting I was able to get a look at her when I met her Gran-mother, and so make a few last minute minor adjustments.

Both the event and the publication are inspired by the suffrage movement. They will be interviewing leading women scientists, awarding them bespoke jewellery to honour their efforts, and writing a feature about them and their careers for our book. They need 12 drawings for that book, and decide which artist should create them with a drawing competition. Here is my entry.

Last year’s publication can be found here.
