You know, one of my most favorite types of art are portraits. But to make one ‘universal’ that anyone can enjoy is talent. She is just wonderful!
Please become a ‘regular’ here! Better place would be hard to find!

She looks like she has , despite her young age, experienced so much of life . You have captured her expression so well – she is alive.

How did I miss this one. WoW, love the lines and the expression on her face. The life experience of this beauty would be a novel in itself I believe.

I keep coming back to this one, the intensity in her eye’s, strikes a chord somewhere deep in my spirit. I would love to know what thoughts are behind those marvelous eyes.
Your piece will provide me with bountiful inspiration.

What a great work! I’ve been working to learn how to do just this type of work because I’m a little addicted to color. I learned a lot studying your work, you have a great hand. The brush feels confident and the light/shadow play is sheer happiness for me. Love the loopy lines behind the back of her head. Wonderful!
