kira

Around the same time I was working on the “katie & charlotte” drawing I was commissioned to make an oil painting of Kira. This was slightly more involved as I was required to make a slight alteration to the photo (move a finger to show more eye) and as it was meant for a Christmas present and had to be oil I was pressed for time. Oil paint takes an age to dry. I wont bore you with a discussion on alkyds to speed drying but suffice to say it was a nervous time making sure it was perfect and finished in time to post. Thankfully it was and everyone was more than happy and it is even now getting framed. Phew!
