Brenda -

Very very nice. I love the freshness of it - the colors, the expression. Definitely a wonderful sample for your portfolio.

Thanks, Julie and Ngaire.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really feel encouraged by the input I've gotten!
Julie, yes it will go in my portfolio. I deleted the link to my website because I felt it was so amatuerish compared to the wonderful sites others have. Maybe after I get a few decent portraits under my belt with all I'm learning here, I'll put the link up again!
