Kim, This entire portrait is very, very beautiful. The nose is wonderful. That may sound weird, but I always appreciate well painted noses, beacause I struggle with them so!

Kim,
it's a beautiful work! This red line around the neck make me think to Vermeer. And I enjoyed discover the foot in the shadow!

Lovely Kim! I've got to say I love that little foot peeking out there.

Yes! I found the foot right away, I love toes. He looks like a little stinker. Kim, you just keep blowing me away.

Thank you so much for all the nice comments!

Speaking of him being a litte stinker - he actually is a sweetheart. We did two photo shoots and when we would begin, he couldnt stop himself from at least 10 minutes of making faces, sticking out his tongue, etc. He and I - we struck a deal. I told him I'd give him some of the funny face photos if he'd sit still and give me a handsome smile. The poor Mom was hovering all nervous trying to rush him. I finally kicked her out and he and I had a face-making competition for a few minutes. Im pretty sure I won.

Im afraid my close-ups werent as clear as they should be, but here is one of the hand.

Kim,

Your painting is not just beautifully done, but you seem to have mastered the skill on how to interact with a client (especially a little one) as well. It is not an easy task to get "that look" that once paired with the artist's skills, create a portrait that captures the soul.

Very nicely done...Congratulations!
