For practise by Timothy Holmes

A la Caravaggio eh? When you first posted, eons ago, Caravaggio was the connection (to me). The eyes are brilliantly painted here.

Very eye catching The transition from light to dark is very effective.

Well not in Caravaggio's league, Marjorie...perhaps in a future life. Thanks for your comment. Thanks Christine.

Superb portrait.

It's a fabulous painting Timothy. Have you posted it before? I seem to think I mentioned that red paint above her eye?

Intense and atmospheric. Love it

This is a stunner, hats off to you. The eyes have it for me.

Thanks, Roger and Martin. Not sure Russell, I think I made a version in oils too at some point.
