Hi Shirley! It’s hard isn’t it?

Good one Shirley, hard as Marjorie says especially I find when spectacles are involved!

A very characterful portrait Shirley May. Good to meet you and I like your smile, not an easy task to paint an open mouth but you have created a very skilful work of art.

Just trying to do a self-portrait for my website. Water colour on Khadi paper plus water-soluble black and white pencils.
