Don''t do yourself down. This is not so bad at all. Portraits are the same as anything else: Light, shade, shadow and add a little reflected light and reflection for the icing on the cake. A little shadow under the upper eyelids, upper lip, nose and chin would go a long way to making you look solid.

What lovely blue eyes you have! Well done Peter, I wouldn't even try a portrait.

Great advice from Linda, form and colours are good, a bit more depiction of light and you've cracked it. A very nice job Peter.

Paul Newman comes to mind, must be the blue eyes. Now don't get too big headed Pete!

We all do it because we enjoy painting, Peter. Lovely blue eyes. Keep at it.
