It’s a superb piece And beautifully painted Denise, I enjoyed watching the process on the forum .

Seen it on the Forum, very good Diane

Like this very much, the colours are excellent.

It's really good Denise. You did the right thing stopping, spending more and more time doesn't often make a better picture.

Knowing when to stop can be quite tricky can’t it! I think you’ve judged this well Denise and should be very happy with it.

Looks very good!!

Great exercise Denise, I have tried to complete a painting in a set time but have always failed miserably.

A good result Denise and you have set yourself a time which is a disciplined manner. I could never manage to do that as it purely depends upon whether or not things go smoothly.

I love your style of portrait painting and this is excellent Denise.

Many thanks Paul, John, Heather, Stephen, Marjorie, Peter, Tessa, David, Russell, Carole and Shaun.

Great job Denise

Challenge well met Denise.
