"What can I say! This is my first born with his first born. This hooking has a special place in my heart. The hooking hangs in my husband’s office and is one of his favourites. I remember that this hooking caused me little angst. I finished it in four weeks and looking back at my notes, there was no mention of me wanting to tear my hair out because I couldn’t get a nose or mouth just right! Most of my portrait hookings haven't been this issue-free, but solving these issues has been part of my growth."
