I started drawing my Dad in 2001 to help me 'find' him again. When he died in 1980 I was away in Canada and unable to get home. I never felt I'd grieved properly for him.
It's drawn with pencil on cartridge paper.
I first painted Mum in 2002, in oils on canvas paper and it was my first excursion in attempting portraits in oils. This was painted after a holiday in Jersey where my Dad had died whilst on holiday with her. It was Mums first trip back to Jersey and to her suprised she enjoyed the holiday
