Hi Janet!
Nice composition! You painted your son like if he's going to fly away, full of hope...
I like the way you didn't finished the bottom of the painting...
Good job!

Hi Janet,
It's been a while! This is a fine portrait with a lot of feeling in it. I agree he's very handsome and you've made him look the part in the "Young Man Heading West" theme. It will be good to hang this on your wall and send your son good thoughts.

Hi Marina, thanks a lot. The flying away full of hope was a big part of my intent. I'm glad it seems to be working.
Hi Alex.  It has been a while! Thanks for looking. We'll see about hanging it on the wall. It's a little... shocking.

This could aptly be titled "Go West, Young Man". Where's he headed? My sister left Ontario at the age of 18 to head to parts unknown in the West and eventually our whole family ended up in Western Canada with her.

Hi Janet, nice to see you again on here! I agree with the rest of the posters here - there's a lot of emotion in this painting, I'm glad you posted it.

Linda - thanks. Nice to see you again, too. 
Michelle - the title is "Four Strong Winds", a song that turned me into a pile of mush when my daughter "went out to Alberta"! My brother went to BC first, some of my ex's family went out next, then my parents, then my kids! Just a matter of time for me, as long as I can dig my partner's roots out of SW Ontario.
Thanks for looking, everyone.
Janet
