In 2015, 3 months after my first hip replacement I went to Venice for a week of watercolour painting with Mary Whyte, an impressive watercolour painter from Carolina. Our last day was portrait painting. I felt connected to this lovely girl as I sat in front of her and painted her beautiful, somewhat wistful, face.
Painting mostly in watercolour, but some oil and acrylic, Heather found she had a special gift in portraiture. You can see her work at Heather Wilkinson Art on Facebook.
