Garth, this is so nice and relaxed. The handling of the paint corresponds completely with the subject.
I normally like your paintings all the way through, and if I were the mother of this boy I would also have bought this work as it is. And I can't really perceive it as a sketch or a preparatory work, but for me is absolutely complete and well solved eveywhere.
I understand that in official portraiture you might need to get to a more refined stage, but it is really a treat to see you in everyday clothes...
