I agree with what's been said above and wanted to add my welcome and kudos on this portrait.
I'm looking forward to seeing this finished!

Small Update
Hi Jimmie, I was a little suprised about the paper also. I had never heard of anyone using it, but I remember reading an article about another pastel artist who used hot press watercolor paper so I thought I would give it a try.
Kimberly: Thanks for the welcome! Glad to know there is another Texan here. Most of the advice I have been given seems to be to finish the shirt more or finish it all together. Since, I am not sure where would be a good place to stop for the unfinished look I decided to finish it all.
Thanks, Lacey!
Here is a small update on what I have been working on when time permits. (I am a muralist, so I only get to work on my portraits on off days and evenings.) This is the second layer on the hand. I realize that the pointer finger is too tapered and I will fix it in the next layer.
-James

That looks terrific James.
Are you working on any murals in SA right now? I get up there often and need to pick up a painting at the Greenhouse Gallery this week or next as a matter of fact. I keep wondering if I might have seen any of your work.

Hey Kimberly,
Right now I am working on a little girls bedroom, more decorative painting than a mural on this one, and all of my work has been interior murals, so unless you know someone I have painted for, you probably haven't seen them. I am teaching drawing classes at the Michael's on 410 at Ingram and they have one of my graphite/charcoal portraits on display.
I would love to meet you when you come to town!
-James

I think that I am ready to call this done. Thanks for all of the advice that you guys have given me.
Of course, if anyone sees anything that I may have overlooked please let me know.

James,
What a wonderful completion! It's perfection. What a talent you have.
Now you should unveil it!
