If you measure on your photo, a horizontal line from the nose of Teddy the Bear and to the upper limit of the Orange Shorts you will see that they almost level.
Now, if you do the same on the canvas, you will see what I mean.
By the way, I like your painterly approach.

Allan, It looks like I will continue to go around with my hand covering my eyes saying, "Aghhhh!" NOW I SEE! And now i understand what you are talking about and am very glad that that you answered my need for clarification. It's been one "Aha" moment after another. And, also, thank you for the compliment.
Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy. I sure will work harder on that flaw. Thank you again. I feel like I have just begun to see like a baby when its vision has just begun to focus.
Appreciatively,
Carol
