A dear (2nd) cousin of mine, my fellow Wong - Samantha.
Firstly, huge amounts of apologies to the lass, as this is nine months overdue! I had either tried earlier on but found her a tad difficult to paint, lost my mood (very mood dependent), lost my paints (as I'd done so in Vietnam) and thus left poor Sam unfinished... or basically, I was incapable! I think the latter is the winning reason.
Anyhow, I had honestly started painting dearest Sam back in Vietnam (Family Guesthouse, Sapa) and that would have been around March/April. I wasn't too pleased with the initial outcome (no umph!), reckoning it was the final option...and then eventually, due to my occasional scatty behaviour, I left my beautiful paints and paintbrushes in a small village far, far way....so they were definitely unretrievable. Thus, lost my mood completely!
Anyhow, back in the British Isles, I've managed to complete Sam - touching up the original. It's amazing what layers can do. Sam, all in all, was a treat to paint - especially the final layers - lighting effects etc. Her lips were a treat as well as her cute cheeks. Her greenish hair and contrasting purple cubed background suits her fiancé's painting; Prime Minhster (See below). Her nose could really have done with an improvement i.e. my skills were lacking. Photos will present the before and after scenes...
Cousin Sam has been extremely patient and I've been unfair...but her cuteness can be portrayed from the painting itself. A lot of joy and lotta Love X
