Tom,

This is spectacular, and magnificent! I love your subtle finesse of temperature and tonal gradations. Congratulations on a job very well done!

Garth

Fabulous portrait Tom!
Very alive -- and those hands!

Garth, thanks so much...you know what I think of your work, so your comments are welcome indeed.

Terri, thanks! I handled the glasses the same way you did, taking photos with and without, painting without, and adding them after. It's so much easier to control.

Hope to see you all at the conference.

Congratulations on another beautiful piece, Tom! I am studying the details..., especially your edges.

Rob Tom's robe!!!
 

Be aware, robbers,
The real judge is right here!

(I still try to rob this robe anyway)

Julie--Thanks! I am trying to loosen back up a little.

Schubert--I now know where the bodies are buried around here. So be careful!
