Richard,
it is a great practice and oportunity for you. You have made many fine portraits and I wish you happy painting.
One advice: try to hold back a little on the hard edges, better save them to the places you want to emphasize.

This one is especially fine, Richard. I'm glad you are persevering on this "heads" project.

Bingham is a name in American art history.
I wish this "two heads" are equal someday!
I've read many of your posts, thanks!

Thanks for the kind words, SB. I'd feel more like claiming "Uncle George", if he hadn't given over painting for politics later in life! (the shame!)

Here's another recent head from the same series. Allan, good advice!
