picture perfect


Most bloggers enjoy a good picture, we love to capture the  beauty around us  or freeze a special moment or view, but not many of us attempt to show portraits.

In painting it seems to be the same;  you need a certain amount of courage and certainly technical skill to capture the essence of a person in a portait . 

My friend Rachel Hannyngton works as a portrait artist, and takes commissions for single and group portraits.  She seems to specialise in childrens portraits, but maybe that's because so many parents dream of having a painting of their child rather than a photo.

Based in Norfolk in the UK, she works in her studio at her beautiful 18th century farmhouse, either from photo or from sittings.  What a great job!   I love her group portaits, and their casual, friendly feel.

How about you?   Do you prefer to stick to photos or sometimes  dream of having someone you love immortalised on canvas?
