John,
I really like this one! I guess I relate to it personally because I like painting people in their natural surroundings. You really see the environment as an extension of your father-in-law. He' s enclosed by his work area (nice angles!) but it does not feel claustrophobic. I like how you included the details (but not too many) of his wood carving business. Each one is well-placed and the whole has a natural rather than contrived look: "real life" rather than "stage set." Congratulations on a fine piece.

John,
Great painting, super job on the figure and the flesh tones, drawing, and gesture.
If this happens to be the piece you wanted comment on in terms of focus, double post it in that thread. The Unveilings area isn't available for that kind of input.

Thank you Kim, Alex, Steve, Claudemir and Dianne,
I didn't think I would be able to thank all of you for your generous remarks but Dianne resurrected the post and gave me this opportunity. Another thanks to you, Dianne.
