Both of these are great Jim - like you I think she suits grey hair.

Great work

Lovely, Jim  :)

I think it was grey as she was 50 ish and she was unlikely to have coloured it - unlike some of us these day  ;D

(must get my roots sorted soon  :-X  )

Lovely work Pat - great colour choice for her dress - you almost feel like she is going to turn & look at you!  :D

Thank you
Keith

...and the colour version.
Added...Mmm..not wild about it now I've posted it...I didn't find this one easy to colour  :-\
Now swapped for an alternative choice...I have tried to keep her original complexion.

I think I prefer the second one Carol - maybe the pink on the first one is a little strong  :-\

The texture of her dress & her laughter lines look great.

Thank you for all 3
