Linda,

Congratulations! You have a stunning and very successful portrait. It is very inspiring.

You have a masterful composition. I always feel that a generosity of space surrounding a strong figure can speak volumes about success and power, just as much as Mr. Paulson's commanding pose does. The two leaning trees add much to the compositional dynamics, and they compliment and anchor the trousers by their similar scale. There is also a subliminal quality in the composition that suggests a forward directional flow of movement from the left to the right.

There is much worth studying in this portrait. Thanks for sharing it.

Garth
