Goonfella 217 Report post Posted March 1, 2016 Some great stuff posted since my last visit Pixey. You just get better and better. Your portraits are stunning. I think being away from the forum for a while and coming back to see your work afresh shows how good they are. Your latest piece is lovely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
