This is so bold and colourful Frank. Love the strong features and colours. Not easy doing portraits in oil pastel but this is beautifully painted.

Excellent, love the expression and the vibrant colours

Fab colours with your oil pastels.

Looks really good Frank. Colours are great.

Lovely bold portrait, Frank.

Lovely portrait with bold colours, Frank!
