As our planned hike up Mt Cook in New Zealand was impossible due to poor weather, my wife replaced Mt Cook with Roy?s Peak, near Wanaka a day later. So on a beautiful January morning we dragged? our teenage daughters up this steep mountain for 4 hours surrounded by stunning views. I wanted to mark their achievement and resilience as both found the climb a challenge.

Title or Location: Emily, let them eat cake!
My friend, Emily, sometimes models for ball gowns and wedding dress photography, and one of her photos was the inspiration for this watercolour painting. I felt she reminded me of the decadent Marie Antoinette as she tucked into a large slice of wedding cake. I've often painted Emily as she reminds me of some of the beautiful Pre-Raphealite women in the paintings by Rossetti, Millais, Holman Hunt and Waterhouse. I've been learning to paint watercolour portraits for about four years now.
