i like the effect of the wrinkles on the face (it brings more attention to the viewer, i think)

Thank you. It was inspired by another artist (who's name I have unfortunately forgotten, but I will try to find!). I find it interesting, but being the perfectionist that I am when I look at this I just see its faults. I do however like the fact that you have to ask oneself whether she is young or old. It is actually a self-portrait of me, so I would say more young than old! Thank you for your comments

Lol it's fine, I like the fact that one can't really tell whether she's young or old. It's not about a good or bad eye, it's about what each person gets from a piece
And thank you I was going to pop some more work up this evening, but I can't find my camera...

Amazing. I think it's really powerful: the eyes are so expressive
