more drawings by my daughter: you may be out for a meal and only have the back of a napkin,you may only have the backof a folder containing the kid's work from the class you teach inside, it might only be a scrap of paper, a stick in the sand - keep being creative.

These works below are by my daughter, most of which were for her final year exhibition Major in 2008.

they are charcoal/ watercolour/ ink portraits about family.

I've included these drawings by my daughter because of her simple approach to subject and materials. I like the lightness she achieves with soft edges and tones. I particularly like the blurring between the mediums of painting and drawing. There is enough detail to capture the mood of the subject and allow the viewer to feel and imagine as they are drawn into the work. The simplicity of the final works defies the many layers of medium that are applied and reworked to create the desired effect.
