Michael G.,
Thank you so much for your reply. Last night I went searching through my books and found a reference on how to create a haze to tone down the background. The suggestion was to mix black, white and Pthalo Blue. If I were to mix these three colors into a dark gray/blue tone with the addition of liquin and apply it from right to left (over the two furthest away pumpkins, and only partially over the LF side of the onion bag), would that be the correct way and far enough into the painting?
I tried toning it down once and had to repaint the onions. That was no fun and now I am hesitant to experiment for fear of failure.
I will print out your suggestion and save it for reference. Thank you again.
