Geary - Thanks. I have only a shot that was about 3/4's done which I am posting - I made corrections on the head, worked further on the background, added light behind him to give more depth and glazed on the skin. Usually I begin with a sketch of oil or acrylic on the canvas - this one I actually drew out in charcoal because of all the striaght lines (which I have yet to master).
Linda - Thanks so much. The composition was a nice surprise - I was very excited to paint this when I saw the photo I had taken.
Michelle - I think youre right about the significance of the title and the painting. I also happened to have been painting it during the time one of my best friends passed away (not the person in the painting).
Garth - You have a wonderful way with words, that, although I don't deserve, I still think I will print out and paste on my computer for when I need some ego boosting. I guess posting isn't as scarey as I thought it would be...
