Beautiful portrait!
Again, I have to say how well-done this portrait is, and how evocative it is to me. You are just so skilled in catching the details that make a painting that way.
Beautiful work. I gave your blog an award. You can see it at my blog http://vickigreene.blogspot.com/

Beautiful piece. The fact that it is monochromatic adds to the character of the painting.
