[Timothy C. Tyler]

I have a little thing to say that is probably about my personal taste and manner of seeing...

I really think most "westerners" read paintings by and large from left to right. The gaze being towards the left (looking of the canvas) rather makes me want to look off with him. I might prefer it (the work) simply flipped, then we'd be looking in toward him. Is this clear or valid?

Aside from that I too think it's strong and like it still.
