My first portrait
I’ve never had a portrait done before but last night I visited a friend to do some sewing and while we sewed, her utter gem of a son S (who I’ve mentioned before) drew me:
He has represented me manga style in my favourite red dress with a black cardigan over it, included my cat Florence in the image (those who know her will recognise it as a very good likeness) and also added some details from the Sunday School room. If you look closely at the book, it is the one whose cover is now in its final stages, the first Violet Mackerel story. And finally, there is a picture of the doll I was making while chatting to him and his mum, which is another of these.
Thank you S for the beautiful drawing! I’ve put it up above my desk to inspire me 
.
Loved the drawing.
Ooh, me too
