John,

I take this as high praise from a much better artist than I am.

At this point, the painting sits facing the wall, so I don't have to see it for a while. After a time of rest, I will go back and repair those flaws. I had already noticed the hand was too prominent. But that sleeve snuck past me like a crook past a snoozing guard.

The background change is very effective, and really aids the composition. Did you do this because of Steven Sweeney's suggestion?
Steven made many suggestions, all of them good. But to tell the truth, I think I was responding more to Chris Saper's thought that there should be a balancing weight toward the upper right.

I left the area devoid of detail simply because (you may laugh at this...) I plan to submit the image to a greeting card company for their religious line of cards. That area would be suitable for any text they include should they be so gullible as to accept my offer. Same goes for the lower area.
