I meant to say - sorry, but I wouldnt be able to get the portrait finished before Christmas, just in case you were thinking that - I'm sure you guessed anyway though, that these things can't be rushed!
(although won't be as long as I've taken with Helen's, I promise, promise, promise LOL!) I'll also need to work from good, clear, sharp, close up (if poss) photos that, most importantly, show a lot of detail, particularly of the eyes.
OK - continue!!
