Elizabeth is my youngest sister. F0 is the smallest canvas size you can buy, and it doesn't exactly allow lots of detail.
The coat, hat and background are fairly good, but her face has a kind of smudged look, had trouble getting the shading right.

(2011 update: My first portrait style painting leaves a lot to be desired. Still, it isn't too bad in the sense that it actually looks like her.
This might be the first time I managed to get a painting to look slightly three dimensional. Starting to get a slight understanding of shadows?
I ended up redoing one of Liz later on.)
