Geary,
I'm sorry to hear about your heart attack, and glad to see you're still among us. 
I like this portrait very much - your handling is very soft and appropriate to the subject matter. I should like to see, however, a bit more of his body, those beautiful hands, and some of the sofa cushion to explain his position a bit more fully.
I understand that you're still working on this - I do hope that as you bring it to finish, you don't strive for a photo-realist look, but rather keep the interpretation soft and emotionally charged, as it stands now.
Congratulations on a beautiful drawing.

This is incredible. You must put in hours upon hours on one piece, your attention to detail is astounding, achieving all the different textures we see in the piece. What I like the best, however, is the softness which which you rendered your sleeping angel! He's adorable!

Excellent Geary,
This is a great reference photo and a fantastic detail so far. Can't wait to see the whole thing finished. You really have a nice touch. You don't need no stinkin day job...
