Did you have a reason not to draw the neck by the way?
Roz McQuillan replied
Thanks, marjanne! No, just an artistic choice, didn’t want to pull the viewer’s eye away from the face.

when did you make this?
illzidaneyou
and what inspired you to make it?
Roz McQuillan replied
I painted it a couple of years ago. My inspiration comes from trying to capture the essence/mood/character of the person, I just love painting faces!

I have to do a mini assigment where i fine a piece of fine art portrait painting on the internet that i like and i chose this. The problem is that one of the questions is date and i dont want to lose marks for not putting anything, the year you made it will be enough.
Roz McQuillan replied
Painted in 2007. Good luck!
