Thanks, folks. This painting has personal significance over and above the fact that I happen to like it, and as happy as I was to cash the check, I wish I still had the painting.

It will perhaps surprise no one that as I look at the image here, I'm ready to critique it, as I can see, all this time later, things that I would still tweak. (Edges and values away from the center of interest, if you're wondering.) Imagine signing off the Forum and shutting down the computer and still having your toughest critic in the room with you. (It's not necessarily a blessing.)

Painted from life, sight-size, with a preliminary charcoal "cartoon" to get everything placed correctly.
