A portrait of Lulu


The other day Lulu's friend's Mum, Cathy, brought over the most beautiful gift - a portrait of Lulu!!!! I just love it! Thank you Cathy, you are so talented! I love her technique, she used pencils, watercolours and a little acrylic. I love the way she painted flowers here and there and then went over them with Lulu's hair. The portrait looks exactly like the photo she worked from. I can't wait to frame it and hang it on the wall!

I thought I should mention a little about Cathy, the artist. She is truely talented and does portraits with a difference! She works in an office but I'm encouraging her to follow her passion! She has a degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna (lucky her!).

  1. What a wonderful gift, and a treasure! Does she also do this as a hobby or as a business?

    1. She is an artist who at the moment does it as a hobby I'm encouraging her to do it as work!! All she needs is a photo and voila!

    2. I agree with Sarah, she should do this through Etsy. I would be interested also. Does she have a blog?

    3. No she doesn't but I'll see her tomorrow and have a word with her. As I mentioned I'm trying to encourage her to open at first a Facebook page where people can see her work and contact her and then she can take it from there.

  4. Hi Susanne Cathy is working on her facebook page. She has given me permission to give you her email cathyartegrafica@outlook.it so you can contact her. Her English is ok and her husbands speaks English so she shouldn't have a problem conversing with you
