    Hi everyone

    Been a while since I've posted on this forum so here goes!!

    I used an old black & white photo as reference, taken in about 1969, of my husband and his brother (my hubby is the older child, about 6 years old).

    All of it was done in Expression, except the background & edging. It's not perfect but I loved doing it and I hope this shows through. It will be printed out & framed as a birthday present for Mark's dad at the end of the month.

    Thank you John http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

    This is another one I've done recently - it's of my daughter aged about 6.

    dafipp, Mike, OklaEd & John - thank you for your lovely comments http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

    I will certainly try and post some more work soon!

    BTW I'm not happy with the background on the first picture so you may see an amended version soon.

    Thanks again
    Amanda
