What a wonderful way to handle black. And red. The whole portrait just comes together so well. One can actually hear him chuckle. He DOES look like he has wit. That comes across at first sight.
Congratulations!

Hello Garth,
Congratulations! What a successful portrait, the blue piece of clothing guides the viewers attention to the face/eyes and balances off the red masses so perfectly.
Stunning! from me too. (must look up in dictionary to see what this adjective means)

I echo Carlos's comments re your blacks and reds: your handling of the colors and value transitions is superlative. Would it be possible for you to give your admiring fans some details of the colors and mixes used ?
