Portrait No.10 - Claire

Portrait No.10 was a great journey to paint. It is of my sister Claire. She is the person nearest to me in my life and knows me probably better than I know myself. We have the most charmed of sister relationships I have ever witnessed and have lived through each others experiences and shared wisdom and knowledge gained, throughout our life together.We have laughed until tears have sprung and cried until smiles have dawned. I have a love for her that is magnificent, and in mirroring that love, she has allowed me to love myself.
Doing the painting now was also special, in that withe each brush mark I lived through thousands of memories and emotions we have shared, and yesterday I witnessed her marry the love of her life.
