David,
that's also what I think.( and Alex says it better than I could in english)
I like the quiet and meditative athmosphere which comes from the lowered gaze. I like when I feel the time in a painting, the length of the pose, the length of the act of drawing/painting...
I also love your backgrounds, this one is no exception.
Congratulations on a beautiful portrait!
