A beautiful piece, Marjorie. I love her eyes - someone who has many stories to tell!

I find it very good, Marjorie, much expressive.

I think this is a great portrait, Marjorie - I wouldn't call it unsatisfactory at all!

I agree with Wib, her eyes are beautiful and knowing.

Lovely portrait, Marjorie, so much character in her face. Very beautiful and well composed in the frame.

You do yourself an injustice Marjorie , love the colours and blending. The eyes penetrate and hold you and there is a real feeling of strength and determination in that mouth. Nice one.

Thankyou all, there's a bit of Miss Marple about her, maybe it's the hat.

A warming up excercise, finishing off before I start to paint. This started out as watercolour, result unsatisfactory, added some pastel, result still unsatisfactory but it's all EXPERIENCE.
