Oh in my hurry to post, I had forgotten my question. I really regret somewhat about leaving the arm patch so "up front" and in your face. I felt the need to have it there due to the fact he is a fireman, etc so I really wanted it there and now---well, now it is there. I personally feel that I need to wrap it around his sleeve more and dull the colors quite a bit to push it back.
If any of you have suggestions as to how I can handle this now. If I actually should take it out completely, I have taken something out like that by lightly sanding with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper. As a matter of fact I understand some do this in between their dried painting process to eliminate the "fuzzy" look that oil can get from every day air fuzzies.
Any comments are greatly appreciated as I am to finish it very soon.
Greatly appreciated,
Patt
