Thomasin, I realized I hadn't commented on this in its finished state. One thing to add to Sharon's comment about painting with color: you make it look so simple. The placement of each color, the abstractness of each piece, each stroke, is evident, yet the energy in the surface is serene, totally unlike expressionism (which I also enjoy because of the excitement).

I also really like the way you resolved the floor and wall. The straightness of the line is reassuring. And I love the way you've said just enough about his features and the planes of his face. So many artists say too much, go too far, and this could easily become corny in the wrong hands. Yours belongs in a museum. I mean it!
