commission portrait: next one hour painting session

here is the next stage of the portrait. i am sort of jumping around trying to keep most areas in step with each other and be sure the background connects with the subject at least in places. i think the face is getting to the point that i have to be careful of overdoing it. each stroke at this point will have to be preceded by the question, "does it really need more ?"

gonna go and make it happen, 11"X15"

marti, how is that title?
