Thanks for the supporting words and the complement .
at the moment Im setting up an aquaponic system as a sample for the community wish I had more money to develop it more, but who knows some one my just turn up and help me.
And here is another of my drawings this time done on black paper.

Wonderful! Great precision work Jodie.I like the "spotlight" look too. It's as if a car light has suddenly lit him up.

Hi everyone Been a while since I posted. Thought you might like to see this from start to finish.

Nice to see you again Lady P! This is lovely and so well done. Great work on the hair and all aspects of it. Is she the 75 year old? or is this her relative or someone else.. if it's her then she is marvellous for her age. If not, well, foot in mouth disease again. Her dog is so adorable! and so well painted. I must say the blouse looks very real. ((()))

We must have been typing at the same time Jodie. Glad to see you and hear you are recovering well.

((((huggles)))) Jodie..... glad to hear you are recovering. Look forward to seeing your work

Hi Bobbity Yes she IS 75......a lovely Irish complexion so very soft lines that I made softer.
I think about how I would like to look in a portrait and that's what I try to convey. Aged but not old!! lol

hey ! really well done Pene , great work

Thank you Ocker (((((huggles))))

Beautiful painting LadyP. Glad to see you're doing well.

Beautiful skin tones, wonderful hair, great watercolour wet-in-wet effects - and I've never two sets of eyes in a painting that quite convey so much love. Really great work LadyP! Keep it up!

Thank you for stopping by Dutchy (((huggles))) We are both keeping very well . Hope you are too?

Thank you TW (((huggles)))
