I'm polishing up my portrait skills in the hope of getting some commissions. Here are some: one of my step daughter's nine month old son, and the other of a dear older lady friend on her ninetieth birthday. Both were difficult. The child was so smooth and perfect, and every line needed to be true to my style, which is a bit rough, but not detract from that perfection. My lovely friend was deeply lined, and I needed to 'mute' enough of those lines so they didn't overpower her inner beauty. I hope I succeeded.
