Thank you for your comments, Tim. They are right on the mark, as always. Here is my reason for bringing up the issue of methodology - I have been painting for a year now and I am going about it without any formal instruction. I am serious enough about it to have decided to dedicate all of my time to learning the craft and art of painting.
My hope was that, by showing this painting from beginning to conclusion, the experienced professionals of the forum who are available and willing to share their knowledge might be able to spot problems in my approach and make suggestions in that regard.
As you correctly pointed out, method that becomes a habit is a liability. My aim is to distill a method in order to become a better craftsman and not a better painter. For that, I don't yet know what I need.
