Friends reunited.

Your human figures and portraits have really progressed so much over such a short tme, Stephen - there's so much complexity and depth to your colors and your rendition of facial features. Enviable indeed!

Agree with Yam Chew - your work has shown vast progress. The cold blues against the hot reds and oranges work very well here - I'd go so far as to say the actual skin colours don't matter, so long as the balance of tones is right.
