Dear Alex,
I have been privileged by you to preview this wonder in progress. I have been to this room, introduced to your husband, and can assert this representation is the verity of Steve. It's perfect. I want to reach in and touch the train and pet your cat. Within this canvas, there is a believable sense of atmosphere, depth, and presence to everything lovingly rendered. Well done!
Something about this portrait reminds me of the engaging qualities of Charles Wilson Peale's "Staircase Group", of 1795, in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It's a favorite trompe l'oeil example of a portrait.
