Originally a pencil drawing of myself sketching my portrait whilst holding my 3 year old in my left arm, she helped me paint this portrait in an abstract style. I asked her to paint certain areas at a time using any colour of her choice. I didn't at any time change what she painted and let mistakes take their own course, (much to my horror on some occasions!)

The only area I managed to paint without her 'interference' was the back of her head and my collar. Painting this portrait was enormously fun for both of us and I recommend others trying it. There is the original sketch in my gallery if you are interested in seeing it.
