you have a wonderful gift for capturing spontanious, fresh expressions angela. the one thing i would change however-and i'm not usually a portrait artist so take it from where it comes from-is the high-lighting on almost all of your works. it gives the appearance of an oily sheen to the skin and really emphasizes creases. while this is generally ok with male portraits women(unless they're bodybuilders with no waterweight on their faces) and children need to have those sometimes harsh angles toned down a little for a softer,younger, smoother skin tone and finish. other than that these are all top rate portraits.
