A powerful portrait Denise.

Dry good indeed, Denise.

Very good indeed Denise and I agree about the thoughtful expression which makes it something else. Is this from a photo or your imagination?

I meant Very, not dry. Sorry!

Thanks very much Chris, Paul, Sarah, Jiri, Jenny, Marjorie, Lesley, Spencer, Lynn, Linda and Tessa. I used a free photo for this one Tessa. I could have worked on it much longer and got better results but I thought 5 hours was enough. I'm trying to get experience with variety rather than focus at the moment.

Excellent Denise

Really well done, Denise
