Welcome to the Forum, Piety!

I'm enjoying your work very much. I like the contemporary feel of your large paintings and I think there is a market for them. You have a strong command of drawing and painting technique.

I do want to say, though, if you are going to sell your portraits, you will want to put in some effort finding flattering photo references of your subjects. Squinting into the sun is not the most attractive option for women of this age. Unless proven otherwise, I always assume people want to be portrayed as attractively, and sensitively as possible while still remaining "truthful". Otherwise, why bother painting them?
