My gorgeous 18 year old daughter has always loved to draw and paint and be generally creative...

She was prolific...until she got a B in her art GCSE - she took this to heart and decided that it meant she was 'crap' at art. All drawing and painting stopped.

Until now...

She has gone out and got herself a set of oil paints, a pile of 'special' paper, an array of pallet knifes (right terminology?!) and a whole load of artistic attitude.

This is the first little gem to appear on my bed for inspection and admiration. And I love it. She tells me she is especially proud of her models hair...

I have a truly amazing daughter.
