Thanks, guys...
Carlos, I'm still laughing!
Chris, thanks very much. I decided the content was the light, and I wanted to get it.
Mischa, I appreciate your comments; I'll have another look at these things. As you suspected, the blue in the shirt is somewhat less saturated and less lavender in the painting, more in harmony with the environment. In adjusting this on the monitor, I had to choose between rendering his complexion or the shirt accurately and haven't been able to capture both yet.
Best to all--T

Tom, it's really beautiful. I agree with Mischa - the feet and legs are so impressive. They're simply perfect. I'm dazzled by the background! What deftness! I'd really love to see some closeups if that's possible.

Sure, Lisa, thanks so much.
(I also went back and re-jiggered the original image to more accurately depict the shirt color as it appears in the painting. Mischa, thanks again.)

Tom -
The skin tones are great! I love how close the values are in the face, and so beautifully painted. Such nice warm tones, and everything fits well together.

Tom, thank you for the close ups. Lovely! I would have loved to watch you work on this one and learn. If by chance you have recorded the procedure please, if its not to much trouble, send it to me, even a high rez of the legs and head. Did you follow the classical stages of painting dead- colouring, 1st, 2nd painting, glazing toning?
Grate job and good for you!

Tom, it's gorgeous!
The light, clothing, limbs everything! I love his freckled face and how you were able to show the freckles without them jumping out at you. Same goes for the teeth, so few people can pull teeth off and you just did it in a most wonderful way.

Beautiful portrait, Tom.
I like the light, and the nice athmosphere created by it. Your backgroung is really great.
I agree for the feet : very elegant pose and soft skin tones.
