Would I be lazy to ask which was Leos' way?

I enjoyed a Sargent at the Phoenix art museum in which the catch lights are actually above the lid, near the brow really. I love that it works from 20 feet. I know that Sarg painted (or decided from 20 feet) and probably simply put it where he saw but it's cool and brave! and the work pulses with life, which a nice effect in a painting I think.
