Thank you Steven and Maxine for your replies! I have noted the points you made, Steven, on the neck issue, which I totally agree with! I will work on it further. Thank you for your kind words!
As far as the subject matter is concerned, it was interesting...I just photographed her from a distance, trying not to make her pose or aware that I was watching her. Maybe you should try that approach, Maxine! Whenever I photograph my subjects, I try to do that. I don't like 'posing' most of the time. I think more of the personality shines thru when they are in their element, being themselves.
I am glad I inspired you! I hope you take the time to paint him!
All the best!
