Hi Lon, I love the portrait very much

Forgive me Lon, if I (the rookie artist) sound rude and insolent by what i'm gonna say. I certainly felt the love and life exuding from the masterpiece...a work of art that could only come from the touch of the artist's soul. However, i thought that streak of pale color across the shirt, took much attention away from the face - especially that it shares the same value as the brightest part of the face.
By toning down the streak, or doing away with it altogether the painting will certainly look better.
