Will, I've been following this thread with interest and have learned a lot as well. Your latest reference photo is beautiful; I like the colors and shadows you've achieved and it forms a harmonious whole. The only element that concerns me is his left hand; because his arm curves downward and his hand is so much lighter than her skirt, it keeps pulling my eye down and leading it out of the picture. If this were my painting I would try to make that hand curve so that it directs the eye upward and back into the painting for more visual adventures. You have a very appealing couple here, though, and it's going to be fun to paint them.
