Beautiful job, Jim. It's amazing how much the unique positioning of the teeth in a subject's mouth lends credibility to a likeness. If you'd given him perfect teeth (not that you would have been tempted) it would truly have fulfilled Sargent's comment about a portrait's being a painting with something wrong about the mouth.
