Steven,
That was so helpful. I have been looking at the painting for so long I am afraid I stopped seeing details like his eyes being oblong or that they are lit from different directions. I wish I could make some corrections but it is already framed and gone. I am working on the 2nd piece and I will definitely add some "zipping" with the sky in the sweater...all were great suggestions! Maybe the hard edges are the missing link to the feeling of atmosphere?
Many thanks for your time and help today,
Lara
