Michele,

This is fresh and alive. Your abilities have far exceeded this humble citizen's ability to nitpik.

This could easily be double-wrapped and shipped as is. All your recent paintings are winners.

This would be an oil painting of what size?

Beautiful painting Michele! Nothing to critique!

I especially like the background - the foliage is subtle, but it keeps him from being lost in the darkness of the background. Was this in your reference photo or did you decide on this compositionally? Just curious about your approach - I'm always at a loss when it comes to backgrounds...

Lovely work, Michele.

I can feel the softness of the hair.

Michele-

Very Old-world feel to this. I love it.

What a beautiful painting! This painting is a great example that teeth, when executed correctly, do not have to take away from the success of a painting. Your handling of this little boy's smile is wonderful.
