Garth, I really like the pale background, with so many loose and intelligent painterly strokes. The fleshtones are excellent. Once again, I marvel at the deftness of your light touch, value control and soft edges, which are so much a part of your painting style. It seems to be especially forgiving to aging faces.
Didn't I just read recently on this Forum that one out of ten portraits is supposed to be a disaster? Well, I'm still waiting for that one disaster out of you. This is a very successful painting, big congratulations to you!
