Calos,

I guess Garth and I are both impressed with this piece and the fact that you went throught the trouble and difficulty of painting this from life.

I do like the unusual tonality of it, especially as used in childrens pictures which in all too many cases look like candy box covers.

However I would like the face to emerge a little more, because I think it would emphasize his beautiful eyes.

I hesitate to show you an example of my work which is quite different in intent , but painted from life with a judicious amount of lip and cheek rouge added.

I think Garth gave you an excellent review and I have had a difficult time finding fault with it, but here is my two cents for what it's worth.
