Thank-you very much, Linda. I work and rework a painting until it does "feel right". I am not completely sure why something does feel right, but I think, for me, it has a lot to do with simplifying things and using stronger and more definite outlines and shapes, and also, with figures, a living personality.
I tend to need to create rather than portray people, so, no, I don't think I am a real portrait painter very often, although I do enjoy painting particular people now and again. This one, for instance.
