Posthumous Portrait

Many of us at one time or another, have been asked to paint a posthumous portrait. These portraits are difficult for many reasons, not the least of which is the usual poor reference material. The portrait that I am posting is one that I recently did of my 94 year old mother whom I lost in April. My photo. My choice to do something for someone whom I love even with the photo taken in a fairly dark room. As she was blind and frail, taking her elsewhere for better lighting wasn't an option. I would be most appreciative for any comments and suggestions.
