Such fine, evocative and tender portraits, drawn with such care and incredible detail.
Doreen’s mum in her kitchen reminds me so much of our family kitchen back in the day……
wonderful work. You are ‘up there with the greats’ as far as I’m concerned Doreen.
Thank you for sharing these with us all through the GA.

And thank you Doreen for documenting such important images in such a lovely way.
It’s an absolute treat.
