Thanks, Sharon:

Part of the problem is that the posted photo looks slightly different than the painting (the reds reproduced too strong), but I see what you mean. I muted the red and gold in the state flag ever so slightly. I tried adding just a hint of jaune capuchine to rouge up the face, and then rubbed it off, although as you know, you can never get paint completely off. It looks about right after all this glazing and scrubbing.
