Hi Lon,
It's good to see you back on the Forum and posting your work again!
There's a lot of good fresh painterly technique here, which I like a lot. But this is so obviously from a photo, Lon. If your direction is toward photorealism I'm not qualified to comment about it because one of my personal goals is to make my work look as if it were painted from life. (I don't know whether I succeed generally.) You have such good life drawing skills, I have to you why you didn't just make this handsome young man sit still for you? I hope my question hasn't offended you.
