Oil on Linen: 34" x 44"

Mike, this could have been the usual "man standing with his hand on he back of a chair" portrait--but, WOW, you have made the absolute most of it with a relaxed pose with an S-curve from side to side n the picture plane, and arms coming forward and going backward so we have a sense of depth. Not only that, the form and the head (and face) are well articulated with just enough confident brushstrokes. Nice color harmony, too.

Mike, I think I saw this before, but just in case, this is really nice. I like the pose and the composition. It has a nice casual feel. Nicely executed as well!

Thank you both for your comments. Here is a pic that is a little more representative.
