Wow! Linda! This is amazing. To borrow one of your quotes, you "really know how to paint men." I love the muscle-T, sweatband, and gloves. The angle of the light is very effective--it evokes midday sun, which reminds one of taking a break from hard work. Youve got the feeling there. GREAT work.

Linda, what a painting! I mean painting as opposed to a portrait and its background!
I love tthe lilac/yellow scheme, with the two colours chasing each other around all of the canvas.
If you work some more on it, just don't look at the photo: it's wonderful and fresh and you are at risk of loosing the whole just to go after a detail!

Linda, this is awesome! This is ready for a frame as it is. Sure you can refine this or that but why? Maybe just adjust a edge here or there will be just the thing. For a canvas this size the unfinished look will hold the charm. Don't you think?
