I also like the way you did the hairline. Great portrait!

Yikes Tony! What Alex said. This is stupendously wonderful. Such interesting poetic colors and impactful brushwork, in a very complete painting! Tony, your genius is intimidating; fortunately you are such a grounded friend. I will spend some time gawking as this masterpiece unfolds its secrets, little by little.
