Really well done, super tones.

This is, as usual with your portraits, suberb, Heather. Hope you continue with oils! The thinning hair is masterful, as are the skin tones!

Super skin and hair, and that expression fits the title to a T!

This is fabulous Heather. Skin tones are really challenging but you've cracked it, and his expression is marvellous. More

Sorry, I posted mid-sentence. I was going to say, I look forward to seeing more portraits in both acrylics and oils.

So love the hair and texture - plus the expression. Really difficult composition well mastered xxxxx

Great portrait Heather, there's nothin' worse than man-flu.

Posted by Trev Goodwin on Tue 05 Oct 17:11:09

Hi Heather, ah now I know I’m always looking at landscapes or seascapes. I must say you have a real talent for portraits something I’m hopeless at but this and a all your work is to be commended, I can relate to this one as I went down with man-flu last Monday and still have it on top of all my my ongoing health issues but you have captured the moment perfectly! I’m jealous of your talent!!
