Nice start, Bryan. What strikes me most about the painting versus the reference photo is that he actually looks younger than you've painted him, and much of that has to do with the jawline. In the photo it looks fuller and lower than you've got it, and the chin is therefore less pronounced. I think he would look closer to the true age in the photo with those amendments. Do keep posting as you work on it. He has such an appealing face; isn't it hard to paint those posthumous commissions?
