Hi Robin,
I really like the way you're handling the subtle flesh tones in this portrait. It's always difficult for an artist to be handed a snapshot and asked to make something out of it, especially of an older person.
I'd work on that hair some more, varying the strokes and making more of them curved, full and soft. Be sure to keep those edges soft where they meet with the background. I'd also go back to that jacket and work on softening the lines and shadows.
There's a nice feeling of character in your painting. Keep posting, and welcome!
Best wishes,
Linda
