Lon, my condolences to you and your family. I personally find the portrait very touching and well done.The suggestion of a little violet for the background would seem to work but I truly agree with Leopoldo about leaving it. There is a wonderful freshness within the colors and the mood. I really like it very much.
I am in a similar situation, but different in that it is the one titled Gwen that I posted earlier. I had been working on it and consider it nearly finished. Meanwhile, Gwen has fallen, taken ill and is in a Nursing Home. Of course the daughter asked me to wait and see----well, which way this goes. She wanted me to be with her to present it to her mother. I feel awful because I really wanted Gwen to see it herself as I had done a prior one of her in watercolor and with her eye problems she could barely see it. I really felt that the oil would be easier for her to see.
