Karin,

Thank you for your comments; they will help me on my current commissions. I smiled when I read your comments on the changes in the background between the underpaint and completed portrait-- I got a new color of paint that I HAD to play with. Plus, I felt like he blended in too much with the background in the underpaint and I wanted him to "pop". For one portrait that I'm working on now, I will scan the resource photos and print them in black and white to be more aware of the tonal values (also back lighting). When the underpaint is finished, I will post it on the critique forum. I am very serious about my work and welcome any comments you can give me to improve.

Thanks again,
Renee
