Lovely self portrait Marjorie. I like how you’ve made a focus of the face itself. Nice to put a face to a name!

Hello Marjorie, lovely technique

Thanks very much everyone, I really enjoyed doing it. Now to get the other half to sit….

Excellent painting Marjorie. I like the way you’ve incorporated the pink background into the rest of the painting.

That's a lovely portrait Marjorie. I tried that a few years ago but, unfortunately, I stared so hard at myself to get the features right I was told I had eyes like Marty Feldman.LOL

A lovely fresh painting Marjorie ie. Not overworked

Love your brushstrokes Marjorie and the clever use of light on your face, reflecting from the spectacles. I also admire the lack of fussiness and unnecessary detail and how you have unified the colour.
