Mike, I really like this portrait because it exudes personality. I get a real sense of who this woman is. I also like your subtle treatment of the hair and glasses and the carefully constructed values leading the viewer to the face. Nicely done.

Thank you both for your kind comments. She has such a great personality I am glad that it comes through the painting. This one is a little more "finished" than most of my work but I found it quite enjoyable laboring over the subtle value shifts, many of which do not come through the photo of the painting.

Very nice Mike. I like how the eye is drawn to her eyes and the hair on her forhead, very dimensionally rendered. You instantly want to like this woman. Congratulations!

I liked everything about it and I second the compliments you've received.
The luminosity is great!
