Commission for a grandson

[Richard Monro]

Julie,
I think I am being picky, but the glasses appear to be slightly off in angle compared to the reference photo which for me creates a slightly disturbing imbalance. Personally I would hate to try to make the correction at this late stage. I also agree with the comments concerning the value shifts, but other than that you have done a very credible piece of work that I am sure your client will love.

Hi Richard -

I see what you mean. Since I lightly traced at the start to get the main things in placement, including his glasses, I'm not sure if it is the glasses or the eyebrows above them that make them look off-kilter. Will have to check.

Always feel free to nit-pick. I am trying to learn to see what is there, not just what I think I should see, so I NEED other eyes and comments. Thanks!
