Tom,
What a great portrait! I must have missed this entirely when I was in Maine for a few days in the beginning of July. So glad Sharon brought the thread back up. It's beautifully painted, as everyone has said in so many ways already. I just want to add that the glimpse of this boy's personality in his sparkling, attractive expression is what makes me feel he's a real person. I'm sure people will marvel how you modeled the figure and got the flesh tones just right, etc,, and the parents will gloat and brag about how great you are (which you are!), but in the end they will treasure this one and enjoy looking at it over and over because of the life in that boy.
