How kind of you to say such a nice thing about my work! Your portraits already show a high level of skill. If I was to give you one suggestion to improve your work overall (having checked out your website) I would say that you should make a New Year's resolution to paint only from your own photos, and especially no photos taken with flash. You'll immediately see a huge jump in the quality of portrait you can paint, and your creative enjoyment will increase too, since the result will be all your own creation.

Study the SOG threads on how to take reference photos if you're not sure what you're aiming for (it's not very hard and doesn't require any special equipment to get started). Then you can create some great new samples and you'll be on your way!
