The details and the realistic expression is amazing. You are super talented.

The ruddy colors, rough textures contrasted with the arresting eyes that would see to your soul is a wonderful complex portrait here. I love it.

Gary, calling this piece 'ABLE' and making it part one of a series about fishermen and fisherwomen tells me you're building something with real intention. The fact that you're sharing them one by one, letting each person have their moment, says a lot about how you see their stories.

I really enjoy how you captured this fisherman. Wow very impressive. I bet his family would want this portrait,

I love the expression - the overall portrait works except for what I think is his neck. Could also be a sweater.

Great work! This is excellent

Only reason I don't give it a 10 is that the sweater collar is too round and perfect

This piece really tells its own story. The hard work of the fisherman. What makes him look caracteristic is the worried gaze. His eyes are so expressive.

Hi Gary; I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. The work as a real feel to it
