Kim,
Back from a two weeks vacation it is nice to see all the hard labor people have put into the art of art.
Your "Charity" turned out well, I like it very much and think it is one of your best. I like the frontal, symmetrical composition, that makes the small diversions, like the squinting eye and the movement of the hands, so much stronger.
I feel that you maybe are turning into a stronger way of expression, judging from the bold strokes and and the simplicity of the composition.
