Dark to light

Jean, I am reminded of how we were taught to work from dark to light in oils. In your painting, you worked light to dark. Your reference photos have rich darks which are lacking in your layout. If you were to work dark first, then slowly add the lights, leaving the lightest colors for last, your painting would have more drama.
