Ijay and her boys

Lenochka says: "Although challenging for me, as this was the first time I was painting a group portrait and had to use several reference photos, it was such a privilege and joy to get to create this portrait of Ijay and her boys."

Ijay says: "I am totally blown away by this portrait of me and the boys by Lenochka as part of the #NHSportraitsforheroes campaign organised by Tom Croft. I wanted one that included the boys who I am eager to get home to after my shift. It was a tricky request but I love the final piece. Please check out her artwork. Thank You."
