Hey Tony,

This is really quite nice! I love the richness of those blacks and that directional light. Also the poetic looseness of the brushwork which preserves just a bit of mystery about this man.

Garth

Thank you everyone for your kind words...

It really helps for encouragement. I am sure everyone knows when you are slaving away in the studio and getting frustrated with yourself it helps to have good criticism as well as the bad...

Thanks again!
Tony

Darn, everyone's already said what I wanted to say. One can never get enough praise and thanks.
