Have you ever sat for a portrait?
Over 12 months, family business leaders from across the north will be doing just that, as award-winning portrait artist Helen Perkins profiles them for our Face Forward project , in association with Armstrong Watson.
The portraits aim to show family business owners in a new light, and feature month-by-month in our new family business section , both online and in the in-Cumbria magazine.
We'll be following the paintings from sketch to completed portrait.
To see the development of each painting, just click on the pictures below.
