Very nice work, Clayton. I really enjoy your tonal (as opposed to just using lights and darks) modeling in this portrait, and especially love that patch of warm, glassy green on the left jaw. I also really like the unexpected energy in the background, and the medusa-ish quality of it growing out of his head. The suggestion of the neck is very alive, and his skin in general looks as though light is being both reflected and absorbed. Yes, I really, really like this painting. It's a wonderful personal step away from your Richard Schmid influence - not that I am knocking that influence in the least, but it is nice to see you have the confidence and conviction to go beyond that in such an interesting and contemporary way.
