Mike, great idea regarding the sleeve. I also may glaze the sweater darker after it is thoroughly dry.

Peter, great ideas! I will execute them. I had trouble posting the photo, as it was a Corel composit and I had trouble converting it to a JPEG with any degree of resolution. The roses were shot apart from the model with the same drape and lighting. I have already toned the roses down twice, and maybe third time is the charm. I do want them to be in the backgroung. They were quite bright at first.

I highly regard your critiques, your mastery and your generosity! It is highly motivating and educational.

Can't wait to varnish this bugger. It is really drying unevenly, and appears to be splotchy until it all dries. No more walnut oil for me. I did not enhance the image, as it was already hotter than original, and not quite true.

Again, thank you, Mary, Mike and Peter. (Sounds like a folk singing group!)
