Original!
This is quite an intimate composition!
I especially like how the objects on the table and the raised legs do not distract. They lead us toward the powerful gaze of your interesting subject.

I agree, very interesting, narrative portrait. I'm very interested to see more of your work, but the web site link in your bio does not work; could it simply be the wrong path?

Thank you, Jeanine.
Mari, the site should be www.artist-info.com/artist/Anthony-Palliser.
Knowing me, I probably typed it wrong!
Administrator's note: Anthony's link is working properly now.

Anthony,
Nice work! Very ambitious. The overall effect outweighs my critique. Only a smart aleck fellow artist might pick on the things I note. The vase on the piano seems to hang behind the book; not quite on the book, nor on the piano. The drape tends to look as though it clings to the back of the chair, and the highlights on the subject's right leg form a lineal pattern that tends not to describe the leg below it. On my computer the pupils tend to look a bit spotty and the hair line seems hard. These last two items may be characteristic of the subject, I realize.
I am much too lazy to attempt such a composition. Well done.

I really like the use of the different planes, the way space is suggested by placing objects on the right places. Great composition!
Greetings,
Peter

Great composition, excellent painting. I am far too lazy also to tackle something so complicated. My only comment would be the sharp hairline but then again he is of an age where he could be wearing a toupee.

The trouble is that this is a very large portrait that looks so tiny on the monitor. Here's a detail of the head

Anthony,
Loved the portrait and I checked out your site too. All of your work feels airy and open to me and makes me comfortable looking at it. Good job.
