It's the decisions that were made before any paint was laid to canvas that cinched it's fate.

Ain't that the truth. Course, it doesn't hurt that the subject is a very compelling-looking man to start with!
It does seem that the paintings we love or the ones we're less than thrilled with (our own work or that of others) were destined to go that way right from the start. Once an artist reaches a certain level of competence with the brush, it's all about what the artist decided to paint, not so much as how the paint is applied, I think.
