The way you have executed that straggly hair is excellent.

Excellent work Skylar. A face with so much character and wisdom.

Love the way you have introduced such a strong character displaying a wild abandoned, disregard for convention. The hair tells a story and those lines of cynicism cry out to us Skylar.

Maureen - Thank you! as i painted it (on a white bkg.) it became apparent that I should surround all that white/gray hair with contrasting tones.
