Beautiful new piece, Allan.
I like the way the energy of the boy is implied by the quick, vibrant strokes of the body/shirt. I like everything about this painting.

Allan, the portrait of Thor is a excellent! If the parents are good friends I would ask to do more figure portraits of him. He would be a excellent subject to paint.
Grate work Allan!

Alan,
This is simply beautiful. The child is so alive. Your brushstrokes and use of color are magnificent and the thinner areas of paint on the background and shirt allow this wonderful face to take center stage. Very sensitive painting.

Allan--
I love this painting...both the color and the application are wonderfully handled, and the degree of finish in each area is perfect. Truly a masterful work!

Thank you, Julie and Mary,
I painted him because I think he is a fine kid and I am happy that it shows.

Just beautiful.
Very sensitively done, I love the tones and brushstrokes you've used
The paintingcaptures his character and energy
Can I ask if it took long to complete?

Thank you , Marina, sorry for not responding before.
Margaret, thanks,
the painting was done in a day's time, but it took some time before and after to consider if it was OK and HOW I it should be.
If I could only stop thinking I would save a lot of time.
