[Jennifer Geary]

I have noted all of your changes/adjustments and will continue to work on this. Of course, after posting the painting, I noticed right away some problems. UGH! I am so frustrated with this painting! The darn source photo is awful, and I am having trouble 'seeing' what should be there.

Thanks, Chris and Peter, for your good eyes! This has been a learning experience, indeed. I definitely see your points and agree completely. Actually my hubby saw the same problems, and insisted I post this picture for your comments. (He is a rocket scientist, so what does he know, eh?) I should learn to trust his instincts! Thanks for taking the time to help me, I was pretty worried that this work would come off right. I am still worried, but have more confidence now.
