"The artist, John Smith"

[Tony Pro]

Thanks everyone for the comments...

Here is a closeup of the face.

I used the Sargent palette on this painting. Muted, but is a little more expanded than Zorn.

I started this in Vermont and finished it at home.

I paint with Richard's painting group once a year but I can't claim to be one of his REAL students like Gerhartz or Burdick but I am a student of his based on reading his books, cover to cover... MULTIPLE times.
