Tony,
This is a wonderful portrait. The painterly finish is stunning, as is your use of color. When Linda mentioned Sargent's Carnation, Lily, Rose, it occured to me that your nephew is the rose in a verdant field. Very effective!
How did you do this? Did he stand there for five hours so you could capture those fresh colors, or are you especially good with a photo reference? Would you consider a painting demontraion for the Forum sometime?
