You have some amazing work on your site. For me, the 'hands' painting is particularly impressive.
I like this quote from your bio: "my goal is not to reproduce or document faithfully what I see 100%, but also to create the illusion of depth and a sense of presence not found in photographs." You've certainly got that in my humble opinion.

Welcome Jason,
What a fascinating and wonderful body of paintings. I'm very impressed with your unimpeachable technique and razor precise draftsmanship. You are imparting a heightened definition of form and physics to the viewer. I have not seen acrylics handled with your high level of mastery before. Since most of us here are trying to master oils, it will be interesting to have your input and insight regarding portraiture and painting. Do you feel acrylics give you certain advantages? They certainly can be more spontaneous. Perhaps you could contribute a portrait demonstration here so we can get an insight and further appreciation to your process.
I look forward to your contributions here.
Garth
