Was this from a life pose Satu? It's wonderful, bags of atmosphere with the shafts of light falling on the sitter. It's contemporary yet it has an air of times past.

Thank you very much Alan, Carole, Glennis, Marjorie, Dennis and Michael for your lovely comments.<br />Marjorie, it's not from a life pose, I took a couple of photos of a young family member in different lights and then painted this portrait. The hair and the pose is hers but the rest isn't.

More turquoise will make this sing even more. I just love this look. Fresh.

You have done a super job on her face Satu, the brushwork and the skin tones are great

I finished this today after several days of frustration when I couldn't get the hair right. I think it looks ok now. The colours are more turquoise in reality, especially the background.
