Bravo Jeanine,
A surprise unveiling! My heart would be thumping out of my chest. Sounds very exciting.

Nervous now!
Hey, Mike!
Since the client (his wife) already loves the portrait, paid for it, and is having it framed, I wasn't really nervous about the unveiling. Now that you mention it, it could still be a disaster if he hates it!
Wish me luck!

Beautiful modeling of the features, and a beautiful light falling across his face.

Varnish
Thank you, Mari!
I see in the post the notable line from retouch varnish then working into his right cheek. This should even out when the whole thing get retouch-varished next week.
Photographing this while still wet is challenging. It comes together better in person.

Jeanine,
You have done a lovely job on this painting, and there is nothing to be nervous about.
If you will varnish before the unveiling, why don't you consider GamVar? The painting only needs to be dry to the feel, and it doesn't look like lots of impasto) and it will provide a final varnish and, I think, look nicer then retouch. My experience (yes, the desert is REALLY dry) is that the GamVar is dry in about 4 days max.

Congrats Jeannine
You've worked long and hard on this one. Do you get an emotional response (loss and sadness) when you have to give up one that you've been really involved in? I really like the way the figure came out, he looks like what he is. Especially the light, and facial modeling. Have a good time at the unveiling!
Jean

Separation Anxiety
Thank you Jean, for your kind comments.
Yes, I do feel a bit like a surrogate mother.
My husband holds me close while I make my farewells to a painting. It is comforting to know that "Polo Practice" will be going to a good home.
