Family portraits

Nannie RaRa

I’ve been busy painting more watercolours – this time portraits of my family.

Instead of painting pictures of them, I’ve been painting items that describe them. It’s been an interesting exercise, finding out what makes a person. As I’ve been painting them, I’ve shown the portrait to the sitter at each stage, and they’ve always come back with extra items to add. I’ve loved doing them.

Here are the finished articles starting with me.
