Inspired after 30 years

Artwork by Mark Wilkins

I was born in Leicestershire England.

I started drawing and painting almost from birth. Then at age 8 my father past away. I was very close to him.

My world callapased. My mother remarried 2 years later. It wasn’t a good situation.

I found myself lost in the yearning to be with my father again. I stopped drawing and painting until one day, 45 years later when I became Inspired by the spirit and joy of my new Grandbaby Charlie Grace Keltz.

She is a very special little girl of 18 months.

I wanted to capture her spirit in some way. So for the first time in over 45 years I picked up my pencils and started to draw this beautiful child who I adore.

I feel inspired to do more but I really need guidance moving forward.

I would love to win some free lessons.

I hope you enjoy my portrait of my baby grandchild Charlie Grace Keltz.
