Thanks for your comments, Enzie

Your own website contains lovely work; I especially liked the skin tones you used in 'African Woman'
I know what you mean about working against an inclination to work 'tight', I've been trying for ages!
What about trying pastels and just going for it? It 's great fun.....

That's very kind of you, Alexandra.
Have to admit, I'm quite pleased with this one, it's getting closer to what I'm trying to express Think I'll enter her for a local exhibition in December.
Thank you for your encouragement.

Margaret this is my favourite of yours, emotional and unconcerned.
I hope it will make the show, it certainly deserves it.
