Phew, breathes a sigh of relief!!

Allan,

Tusinde tak, your means a lot to me, I really admire your work. It was Mikes helpful comments about the vertical lines that made me realise what I had seen in the original ref.

I think I will stick to using my own ref's in future, they make much more sense to me.

By the way Demark is a beautiful place we lived in Dragor and Kobenhavn for a while, I really enjoyed it!

I would call this a success, I would not crop it.

It's perfect! Don't Crop!

I think this is a resounding success Carolyn! Your finished interpretation is stupendously good. Bravo!

Garth

Carolyn, maybe you would be interested in taking a look at this painting, which won the BP portrait award two years ago.

Many many compliments for this very accomplished piece

Sorry to have not responded sooner , but I have just spent 10 wonderful days touring Italy, I am completely renaissanced out But got to see a Lucian Freud exhibition to even things out, really like his work!

Illaria,

Thankyou for the compliment, and also the link, I really like the painting, I actually have been experimenting with some very close cropping for another piece I have in mind so it is very useful. I like her other work as well, seems she likes older faces also.

By the way Florence has to be my favourtie city from the ones I visited, caught a glimpse of the Plazzo or was it Piazza Rosselli Del Turco

Garth,

Thankyou also for the compliment, I have to say thankyou again to Mike and Allan for their advice and hope they'll do the same next time

Carolyn

It is palazzo, and has been in the family since a few centuries, but my dad now lives upstairs in the attic, trying to keep it all together (we are the typical old family now impoverished)
Anyway, if you hop on this side of the Channel, BP portrait award is on at the National Gallery, interesting exhibition.
