Linda,

This is a beautiful painting no matter where it's posted. I like the flesh tones and also the placement of cool/warm colors within them. The brush work is very nice, particularly the "loose" brush strokes used on his shirt.

If I were to throw out a critique here (which is a stretch) it would be that "lit" area surrounding his hair to our right. Does it appear a little "muddy" or is it the way it is photographed? It seems to stand out away from the rest of the background.

It's a very nice piece!
