Chris, Nick, and Gypsy

This is my latest, of a father, son, and their German shepherd. This is a work in progress again, only blocked in at this point. The father has a green eye and a brown eye so this should an interesting face to do.

I'm trying a simple background this time and using the "halo effect". Gypsy's back is quite dark and I'll be adding that later as I build up the paint layers. I was hoping that her back would lead the eye into the painting and keep it there. Are there any suggestions at this point on the background and my attempt to trap the eye?

I believe I may have to add Chris's hand and arm to Gypsy's right side, with his hand ruffling her fur. He doesn't seem to have much interaction with the other two figures. This was the best look I got from him. My challenge is to make him look more like Jesus and not Charles Manson!
