Fabric, Water Element

Thank you, Renee! I will keep your valuable comments in mind as I move along.

Today I straightened the line of the screen (per Karin's observation) and worked paint on paint on the eyes. The paint fom yesterday was tacky but not completely dry... A bit like sculpting!

Nit: The jacket is looking a bit more like velvet than summer weight wool and I am trying to figure out how to fix that... Sharper folds perhaps? Less medium? I tend to favor thin paint when covering a large area. Any suggestions would be enourmously helpful!

Background Decision: On viewer's right side, I am trying to decide if sheers with a suggested water element would work??? Sailboats on the distant horizon would reflect the sitter's hobby, but I do not want to distract from the man. (Actual light source are windows overlooking a harbor which are not in view.)

Thank you all for caring enough to comment!
