Thanks so much for the comments. I think I could have done better with the background, too. One driving thing is that the father (for whom this is a present) is a home builder, and the architecture of the home is supposed to be like a second personality in the painting, as it's significant to them. But it also breaks the mood.

I'll post the reference photos as you suggest.

Thanks again!
