Scott, gosh that's beautiful. I love the way you handled the cast shadows around the mouth. The way you depict the reflective light is superb. The whole painting is knock down awesome.

Oh Joy!
A man in costume! How did I miss that one!
Scott, what a wonderful painting, with great presence and beautiful and subtle form. I just love the magenta!
About painting big. There are times when I want to make them into rafts and float them down the nearest river, just to be rid of them.

Scott, this is very intense and so fine. I love it. You have a highly distinctive style and color sense that is very much your own. Congratulations on another stunner. (I wouldn't mind seeing that hand up close, too.)

Scott, the colors in his face are so subtle and rich at the same time. How do you do it? I've read through your posts and your article in Artist's Magazine, but I'm still amazed

Thank you everyone. You are very kind. I mentioned to Ilaria that I do in fact share something with Titian: an undying love for Italian food. Unfortunately that's where the similarity ends.
Sharon, at times I was tempted to float this one down the river Maas. I work in a small studio and it was difficult to really see the thing as it was developing. Large portraits require large studios where one can constantly step back and see what's going on.
Taking photos of a work large or small is a challenge as well. Linda, Garth is attempting to improve the quality of my poor images. I'll try to include one of the hand.
