The warm light.

On a side note, I thought I should mention that I deliberately chose to maintain a warm cast to the light bathing the flag and figure. Yet not too much so. This was to reflect the incandescent origin of the principal light source. Ironically, I painted this in a full-spectrum fluorescent light, so that I could see and manage the slightly warm painted light with some confidence and accuracy. The brightest highlights are cooler in temperature. It just feels better that way. I wanted this warm glow to reflect the inherent native warmth of Judge Kelly's personality.

Following this warm path, meant keeping the red and blue in a warm key in the flag among other things, so the blue is less blue than one would expect. None of the whites are even closely related to a pure white.
