great sculptural feel, Alex! very well done. The skintones are great - love the way the eyes were handled.

Alex,
I'm thrilled that you said this. I was thinking that he was in the act of thought, yet not tying it to Rodin at first viewing. Very good space around the figure also.

Clayton, thank you--I'm glad the illusion of space is convincing. My son is definitely a deep thinker, but there was no intentional effort to relate this to Rodin. I just noticed it while I was painting him. Funny how these things happen!
