Hmmm..... realism, I am both attracted and repelled by it.
You can become a slave to it, for me capturing things just so on a human's face is almost obsessive. It also has to be as beautiful a feminine face as I can find.
However, making a face and that lives, breathes and communicates and paint that lives as well is not the end all and be all of draughtmanship. Realism and realistic are two very different things.
Your portrait breathes, there is space, there is honesty, there is no charade.
