I have to add my boring but sincere agreement with everything said thus far. A really, really great portrait. Janet

Kim, this is a terrific portrait -he's dressed up but not in the least bit stuffy, with such a lively attitude - I love it! Great technique, great pose. I really would like to see a closeup of that hand.

Thank you everyone - I really appreciate it. 
Cindy - Im with you, I love everything Alex says- she is full of insight and inspiring words! Nice to see your face, by the way.
Linda, I will try and get a close up of that hand before I deliver it tonight.
I was concerned with the pose of that hand from the beginning - Im glad you like it Garth! (whew)

Kim - I'm sooo jealous. Lovely work! I like the way you handled the composition as well as the wonderful rendering of a very likeable looking young man.

Kim, This entire portrait is very, very beautiful. The nose is wonderful. That may sound weird, but I always appreciate well painted noses, beacause I struggle with them so!

Kim,
it's a beautiful work! This red line around the neck make me think to Vermeer. And I enjoyed discover the foot in the shadow!

Yes! I found the foot right away, I love toes. He looks like a little stinker. Kim, you just keep blowing me away.
