I have no interest at all in doing portrait work Satu...except, when I see a portrait done like this. Your work is always inspiring and you make me want to have a go!! The colours used and the brush strokes are wonderful Satu.

I attended a portrait workshop today run by Jamel Akib who is always so enthusiastic and inspiring. I had already done this portrait of my daughter at home but it looked muddy and not quite right. Jamel made me to do it again and now it's free of mud, nice and bright.
