I've made some changes here and darkened the background. This background tone is cool and goes well with the wall this piece will hang on. It's 14x18 oil on linen. The reference photo is a bit faded, and although as mentioned it was no doubt black and white, it was colorized as was the custom back in 1950.

Being one of those personal challenges that I can't let go off , this is my second attempt at this piece. And like the piece I did of "Bill" that you all co-created with me, this one means a great deal. So of course, I would come here where the level of professionalism is unmatched. Thank you for your time.
