Your brush strokes and usage of color are absolutely amazing. I love how the figure really appears to be staring out at the viewer. His look almost appears authoritarian as if he is disapproving of something. I really enjoy that about this piece. I also enjoy the way that you left the shoulders unfinished allowing the viewer, using the Gestalt principle, to finish the work themselves. Your work is seriously amazing!
