Thankyou Katy,Heather,StephenandSandra Posted it just now but they have seen it online and say they love it. I was starting to hate it towards the end and had to get it safely away before I worked it to death.

Wonderful portrait, full of depth of character and beautiful background washes. The colours you have used on Dahlia are so appropriate and very cleverly paintedDavid. A stunning piece of work.
