Tom, I am late to post on this thread, but I had to come on here and say how very much I like this new painting of yours. It has a winsome gentle softness that grabs the viewer right away.

Everything works - the composition, the pose, the paint quality, the edges, the color - whenever I see one of your outdoor portraits I think I should just give up doing them myself.

I've looked at your work for years now and have had so much pleasure in doing so.

Likewise, Linda! Thanks, and best to you as always.

Tom, I've looked at this painting so many times I feel guilty for not posting until now. There are so many things I like about this I'll just pick a couple to mention. I like how you've captured his posture and form. The light patterns on the ground are beautiful. The background is interesting but doesn't compete with the subject.

When you first posted this I had just started working on a portrait of my grandson and I've been back here several times for inspiration. Thanks.

Thanks, Debra....good luck with your painting!
