Hi Linda,

You've done a wonderful job bringing this man to life. I really like your use of broken color and the vibrancy you've achieved with the cool/warm interplay in the flesh tones. Posthumous commissions are tough to manage well and you should be very proud of this one!

Oh Linda, thank you so much. I am so overwhelmed by all of the encouraging comments that I've received on this site. I am in awe of the talent here and so looking forward to learning from the exceptional artists that seem so willing to share their experience and knowledge.
