Aaron--

Nice job!

What I also like about this composition is how the abstract brushwork in the background lends air, depth, and space. You've included variations in the background that anchor the figure and tie it to the edge of the "window" around the perimeter, rather than just vignetting the figure in the middle of the canvas. As a result, this has a finished feel that belies the limited time in which it was painted.
