Even though it’s off, I’m quite pleased with this one. I think I’ve captured something of this lady. I spent a bit more than an hour on this one and I could spend many hours finishing it with so many beautiful wriggles… But had to stop! 😁👍❤
Any guesses?

I don’t recognize her, but then I may not know her. It is very well done, however. 🙂

I don’t know who this is, but the face does look familiar. So, my guess is that she is either a political figure of importance or an actress.

Of course! I should have recognized her, she is one of my favorite UK actresses.

Perfection is a word that, to my view, should not be part of the artist’s language… 😉
