What a lovely portrait, Sylvia. I know the feeling about the self doubt! But you did a great job here.

It's great Sylvia! Much harder to do this in somebody else's style. I love those little fat legs.

It’s a special and sensitive painting Sylvia, and with the Van Gogh twist, it’s a cracker!

This is mesmerizing Sylvia, a modern day Madonna painted with such tenderness it pulls at the heart-strings. Cant stop looking at it. Well done.

It is a really great subject Sylvia, painted with love and warmth which shines through. A great contender without doubt.
