Hi Liza,

What an amazing portrait. I love your
use of colour, the blaze of light at one side, the glasses. Just delightful.

Happy New Year to you and your family and friends!

OMG, it's fantastic! Love the strong sense of sunlight and the brush work really let's you see the colors. This is just great. :)

wow-Liza! Your portraits certainly do capture a sense of personality. There is also this sense of painterliness yet he could stand up and come to life from the painting's surface. Beautiful!!

Liza, this is really, really fantastic--a standout among your work. I love all the sculptural elements at play here--head, glasses, tie, etc.. Wonderful palette and composition as well.

I thank you all very, very much and am sorry for replying so late, but unfortunately I have been ill for nearly a week, drained of all energy. It is actually only thanks to my husband that anything was posted - I couldn't get near the computer! Thanks again, I am thrilled you like it so much!
