Thanks everyone. I've certainly been given enough to think about, so that I can move back into the studio today and put your contributions through their paces. I'll activate Lon's "Undo" software in case my execution doesn't come up to the level of my intentions. No doubt I'll be able to post the results in due course. Wherever it is in a couple of weeks is where it'll have to stay for the summer.

For the record, my inclination is to try at least a little bit of almost every suggested direction, while maintaining the overall mood and sense of the piece as it appears now. I can do a different look when I get him back out to the studio with his guitar. It's 6:15 a.m. as I write this, and from his room next to this one is already emanating shock-rocker licks at woofer-warping decibels. I'll probably have to transport that sound out to the studio to get him to tolerate another portrait sitting. A painter/dad has to remain flexible.

Geez, my 200th post. Now I have to start paying the SOG surcharge for excessive use of bandwidth and disk space. I'd better just go paint for a while.

Cheers,
Steven
