Color photos fade in time and become indistinct.

A fine painting will endure for hundreds of years and
becomes an heirloom for generations to come.

Three Ladies with Hats.

Louise, age four, taken from an old photo.

I met her when she was well into her eighties and

have her baby shoes and the necklace she was wearing then.

My husband's Grandfather and Uncle, taken from an old photo.

Vero, Charlotte and Chloé.

This was a commission to paint the son of their hosts,

after friends had been on holiday in Turkey.

In this portrait I combined studies of the parents as they were at that time,

with images of their children when they were younger.
