This 20" x 16" oil was done from a composite of several photos in which the young man's head was no bigger than 1/2". I usually won't work from poor photos but the client is the manager of my favorite local watering hole and he wanted to surprise his wife.

Very nice work Jim! I like this neutral palette you are using. Very comforting feeling it exudes.

Dear Jim.

Despite the fact that you didn't take the source photo, I know that you wouldn't have started with wretched reference.

It is so enjoyable to see your work again - your style has a signature as solid as DNA.

That is an excellent, straight forward and well crafted piece.

Very nice Jim, very lifelike. And yes, it's good to see your work again. I'm curious as to what few colors are on your palette?
