The Hall Family Portrait


A christian family living in the UK. He enjoys making big stews for church gatherings, playing the guitar but is not so keen on the family dog. She loves flowers, autumn, walking the dog and baking. The eldest daughter is a practising teenager, experimenting with make-up, hair straightening, clothing... The son is into his gadget making and loves cake.  There is a bit of sibling rivalry between him and the elder sister, hence the lump of cake headed in her direction. The youngest daughter is an animal lover, plays badminton but is not so keen on school so is kicking her exercise books off the edge of the bible.
"It arrived today in perfect condition, I knew what it was going to look like but I hadn’t expected the real thing to look so much better!" Steve

MumSense Magazine 'Learning'


Illustrating an article which writes about how hard it is to find out what your children have done at school that day as when asked, the reply comes back as 'nothing'.  You have to look for clues elsewhere. If their shirt is on back to front, they have taken a gym class and he has been doing 'making' when he comes home with a 3 foot robot under his arm.
