Oh, Tom, this is wonderful! I've been looking forward to seeing this ever since you mentioned the light on the robes during our Nelson Shanks weekend. At the time I was thinking, "It couldn't possibly be as wild as he thinks it is," and it's not--it's perfect--silvery and very expressive of the fabric. It's one of those controlled breakthroughs: huge internally, but handled masterfully. The color is truly beautiful and I do like the simplicity.
Also I agree with Linda about your ability to communicate "intelligent humanity." I get the impression that he's seen a lot, he'll treat people with respect and compassion, but in the end he will be fair. It's a great portrait.
