Description
This is a pastel portrait of my 11 year old granddaughter Ellie. She has just been to stay with me for a week and I took the opportunity to create this portrait in pastels. I drew her holding my cat Tilly. The cat has been with me for 14 years and has made cameo appearances in many of my paintings. I wanted her to pose holding the cat as it tells a story more than just a formal portrait.
Winner of first prize in the FAA contest Women Painters - Artist of the month June 2017. Winner of 1st prize People and Animals together. May 2021.
