Mike:

Great portrait. I have just one comment - and it may only be in the electronic viewing that creates this - the painting may not have it at all. The forehead line appears quite sharp in comparison to the other edges in the portrait. If you were to run a cool tone along that edge and soften it closer to the level that you have on the V of the sweater, it will make the form appear rounder and the edge will recede better.

Again, it is a great portrait.
