Ciao from a new italian member in London

[Ilaria Rosselli Del Turco]

Hi to everyone,

I am thrilled to be in, too.

I am Italian, 36 years old, I live in London since 5 years with husband ,dog and three sons. I have been drawing and painting portraits in the last 15 years, juggling with my family tasks.

I work in oils, luckily commissions just come in by word of mouth and I never find myself jobless. I paint almost only children, but to quiet my conscience over the use of photographic reference, I take part in an open studio program at an art school. It's my life- painting gym! Here are a couple of samples of my work, two twins I painted last year.

I am delighted to have found this site and already got some very useful pieces of information.

P.S. I hope my spelling will be good enough for you guys.
Ilaria
