Thanks, Karin, for helping to address this issue.
I had almost forgotten I posted it, however, always trying to solve this problem.

Peggy,
I think you said it just right. The evironment in which the painting will reside is the environment in which you should paint it. I have remodeled my studio to include track lighting (with dimmers and color lenses)above the model, with a blind between my easel and the lights hanging from the ceiling. The covers on the lights keep the light from "spraying" over the room. I paint under a set of similar tracks on a dimmer switch. Works OK for now.

Pat,
Redoing almost the entire studio....what fun, huh?
