Jimmy, thanks for asking.

The portrait is not bad, just I was expecting more from myself: The painting is correct, just I did not find anything exciting about it when I was painting (apart from the hand, which came out in a few strokes).

The main reason is because obviously the girl did not seem interested at all (it was a commission from her mother), which made me lose interest.

I think motivation is a key factor, and deciding what the painting is about apart from the likeness. Which in the case is ... nothing.

So this I think is a failed opportunity to do something interesting, but since the mom is happy anyway...
