Alex, how beautiful! A wonderful description of a teenagers typical body language.

Thanks Vianna, Lacey, Allan and Grethe! Your words mean a lot to me. That combination of technical stuff (paint handling, etc.) and personal expression is what I strive for and I'm so glad you feel it was successful in this piece.

This is wonderful. GREAT temperature control. I also love the way the shadow is incorporated into the design.

You shouldn't have to beg or pay him. Indentured servitude should be a part of everyone's adolescence. What better would he have to do anyway, right?

Best as always--TE

Yes, then they might realize how good they have it.

Alex,

I am so late in checking in, but I love this painting as well. What a gorgeous kid!

I do think that when begging doesn't work, cash is a good second try..

I so enjoy seeing your new work, thank you for posting!

Are you a woman who loves paint, or what?! (I am sitting here gleefully because I saw this before Alex posted it and I knew it would be a huge hit.) I love the way you manage your color to turn form and the emotion of this strongly designed painting translates so well visually. It's wonderful, Alex.
