Mum's portrait

So this was a first attempt at doing a finished portrait.  I worked from a photo my Dad too of my Mum.  I had to keep it all hush hush as I was doing it as a gift for my folks for Christmas. They really liked it so that was great for me.  It also had a little outing in a local exhibition where I go life drawing.
