I’ve finished the main part of Dad’s portrait now. I wasn’t going to work on it last night as I was quite tired. But I went to have a look at the progress I’d made the night before and the bug bit. I ended up working until 11:30 p.m. and got his hair on!
Today I’ve added the ear and finished off the neck, so the features are all done now. I “just” have the clothes and the background to do. And then the sewing starts. I shall probably have to make a trip to the haberdasher’s shop in Frankfurt next week to pick up the various colours of thread I shall need.
