Slight Changes
Face widened, forehead shortened, nose shortened. The head in the reference photo above actually tilts back more than in my painting. This is intentional as I was hoping to paint him in a more forward manor to express assertiveness. Admittedly this is still an idealized version of the man - one that I hope captures more of him than the photo. I've decided to keep the books for now and ask the client his thoughts as well. Your timely comments helped enormously while the canvas is still wet!
