quick portrait

[Sophie Ploeg]

Hi, this is a 'quickie' done from a photo in about 2 hours. I was not aiming to get a likeness (although there certainly is one) as this was not a commission. I am trying to create more portraits that I can exhibit at shows. I liked the vague smile and expression on her face. I told myself not to blend and I didn't. What do you think? I am relatively pleased with it. Any ideas on how to make this more interesting?

Thanks for looking!

Any and all comments are very welcome!
