Tessa

'Bout time I wrote somethin'...
Been paintin' grandchillin...
'Cos they're our life at the moment...
But also...
'Cos portraits are the real test for me...
Hard work...
And I am free...
To paint the way I want to...
The only way I can...
Why couldn't I have my old head on my young shoulders?
And here I am, putting the painting on my blog...
Then I change the face...
And change the blog...
No one notices...
Except me...
Gotta get it right...
Tessa has the most incredible hair...
It is so thick...
She had it very long...
Then had a 'Dora' cut...
And it was like a thick wedge...
Ah...
Beautiful Tessa...
This was a few years ago...
Then she came home from China with an amazing haircut...
But that's another painting...
