Just great stuff. I really feel this one is a personal best for you, Jimmie. You're raising the bar for yourself, which should be the priority for every artist. Those hands -
I agree with your corrections (or your wife's suggestions, hehe), and I appreciate your diligence in pushing a work to its fullest potential. And I'm glad to see the re-post. The quality is far better - you're right.
You know, you've amassed a pretty sweet 'folio of these contemporary portraits. This is a style and treatment that is all your own; I have not seen anything out there resembling it.

None of us here will be the least bit surprised. And we can say, "we knew him when..."
