Nice work Michael. A sensitive and thoughtful portrait.

agree with Jim, good one

I like this very much, Michael. She has one of those expression that you can read how you want...sad, thoughtful, etc...but very human.

What a wonderful kind face Michael.

Thankyou very much for the kind comments. Its strange but when my mum saw the portrait she said the lady reminded her of my late great auntie peggy who very sadly committed suicide many years ago due to depression. I felt extremely emotional at my mums remark and it has increased my fondness for the picture.

Julia Fischer, Michael. Thanks for your kind comment

and this portrait is great work...keep it up.

A sad face, yet beautiful. It's one of those paintings that forces you to wonder about the backstory. Nice work, Michael. Even the colours have melancholic overtones. Brian

Beautiful sensitive and expressive portrait, Michael.

Good work Michael.
