My Dad as drawn by my 16 year old daughter

My daughter who is 16 did this drawing of my father from a wide angle photo I had taken off him.
I knew she would become a more masterful Artist than me but I didn’t expect it to be so soon!
Ever since I remember she was doodling. When we went travelling and we did do a good share of globe trotting, she was always drawing on hotel stationary papers.

She is turning this into an etching using acetate and I can’t wait to see the results. Her previous organic print was fantastic.

Here is her work from 9 years ago.

I worked in Amsterdam for six month, and I was lucky enough to get time to visit Rembrandt’s house a few times. As well as fantastic paintings Rembrandt did these superb etchings. He was also an avid collector of exotic objects and his spending caused him financial ruin.
I had a go at drawing one of his etchings. I think the master would have kicked me out to the poor house had I been his student!
