It's the eyes, I think, that really "bring them to life", they're so vivid.
Absolutely fantastic.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words
I do spend lots of time trying to get the eyes right
in any portrait. If I discard a piece of work for some
reason, it's usually because I can't get the eyes right.
I like the eyes in this one... It's a bit grainy, being a
scan of a photocopy. Again, I could only fit so much
of an A3 pic onto my scanner...
I did this one with dry oil-pastels.
