Art Course 2

Here are images of my Great Grandmother. The original is a print of a faded photograph, dated around 1865. I have worked over the top, in pencil crayon, marker & gel pens and in water colour. She starts out looking like an English rose and becomes more afro looking.

The moderator.... They say.... Yes!

So that's level 1 acheived. I am now considering level 2. Although there are other things I'd also like to do.

Art Course

My art course is now complete; I am relieved and happy to have achieved this as well. I just hope the assessor is satisfied. It is level 1 and I'm toying with the idea of doing level 2. There are other things I want to do so this might have to take a back seat. Here is a soft pastel picture of my Nana and Grand-dad, taken from an old photograph. It turned out a bit cartoonish and I quite like it.
And the photo it is taken from > > > >

Ancestoral Home

Here we have my Ancestoral Home in Sussex. The current occupiers were most kind in allowing my family and I to visit last October (2007). This is where my Mother's Father (1895) and his Father (1853) were born.

My Great Great Grandfather lived next door.

GG Grandfather and G Grandfather were Underbailey and Bailey for the local Estate and these properties would have been tied accomodation attached to their jobs.

GG Grandfather spent his last working years catching rats and other odd jobs suitable for a man in his 70's with failing health. When he retired he remained in his house until he died.
