Portrait of a young South African Lady

Homesick

My Painting done on canvas board size 14x18
my biggest challenge was her hair which was so vibrant I may have gone a bit over board with this,but really liked the result.

The sitter was from Capetown South Africa, she was feeling very pensive and missing her family,not very happy. Thank you for any feed back and feel free to critique this work for me. Cheers Joyce
