Oil portrait by Michael Hanrahan

That looks terrific; I'm the same, leave them for a while and then go back to them, you always end up with a better picture.

That's a beautiful portrait Michael, one of your best.

A real beauty of a portrait, and that touch of lace the icing on the cake

A really beautiful portrait.

This is a beautiful piece of work Micheal.

It’s interesting because although it’s not usual style I instantly knew it was yours. Very good

Your usual style I meant

Terrific painting Michael

Great portrait Michael.

Gorgeous subtlety of tone and colour. Love this

This is a stunning pieces of work Michael, far to good to be stored away. It’s beautifully painted and a great demonstration of your skill as an artist , you definitely have a touch for portraiture.

A beauty Michael

A beautiful portrait. The tones and detail are amazing.

Really good, Michael

Thankyou very much. These are very kind and generous comments. Im in the process of getting it framed. When I bought the panel it was supposed to be 12x16 inches but when I bought a frame equal to those dimensions the panel fell through it. I bought a tailors tape and found it was a small bit smaller than 12x16 inches so it's been abit of a problem getting a frame. I dont think I'll apply any more paint to the picture.

Lovely thoughtful expression.
