My portrait of a young Evonne Goolagong, an indigenous Aussie, who was one of the world's leading tennis players in the 1970s and early 1980s. She was ranked number 1 for a while, won 14 Grand Slam titles (7 in singles and 6 in doubles) and in 1980, she became the first mother to win Wimbledon in 66 years.

Your portraits get better and better. I really love your elven princess. The last one is a fantasy portrait so I can assume that you either used reference or you are now so used to painting faces that you can do them from memory. Either way, you did a great job!

And all your fantasy models have those beautiful self-designed jewelry of yours :coolthup

Don't keep up with the news so am last to know usually unless I find out online. Ten years ago? I don't remember/can't remember that he had even passed. Good job on the portrait OMG
