A framed artwork surrounded by bubble wrap. A highly detailed and realistic fine art pencil portrait of an old and wrinkly Vietnamese woman. She is laughing, she has her eyes closed and her hand to her mouth, index finger pointing upwards and across her lips. By Tamsin Dearing the Artist, in Cornwall.

Pencil Portrait ‘A Lifetime of Laughter’ has Sold

I am getting A Lifetime of Laughter ready to head off to her new home. A few years ago I met a lovely lady who brought her daughter to my studio here in Cornwall for a drawing lesson. She fell in love with this pencil portrait the moment she saw it and has longed to own it ever since. So as much as I am sad to be taking this picture off of my wall here by my drawing table, I know that she will be so loved in her London home where she is going tomorrow, and that is a very happy thing indeed.

A number of my original artworks are available to own, and a selection have limited edition prints and greetings card. Visit the gallery page and click on your favourite portraits to discover more about them, and get in touch to own your own piece of beautiful art.
