I painted this portrait of Tara (then aged 3) a couple of years ago for her parents. It's painted using conventional acrylic applied in a series of glazes using acrylic gloss medium. Tara is shown holding a doll of her favourite TV character from the show "Lazy Town"! and the blanket on her lap features some cartoon animals.
This recently led to portrait commissions of Tara's cousin Adam and family dog Flynt. Both of these paintings were done by under-painting with conventional acrylics and then ovzer-laying with Atelier interactive acrylics which allow the paint to be more-readily blended. Adam is shown with 2 of his favourite things, a tractor on his shirt and a Thomas the Tank Engine book. Flynt is depicted taking it easy which is apparently his one of his favourite states! :-)
