Linda, I'm glad you posted the painting with corrected color. There is more depth than I had originally thought, so please disregard some of what I said above. However, I still feel that the yellow-orange component is missing from some of your shadows, most noticeably in the flesh. If you think of every color being mixed from red, yellow, and blue, then there is a predominance of red or blue. Adding a cad yellow deep or similar color will grey your shadows while it will also add in the missing color component. In the background, also, you may find that simply adding blue will darken the background, but adding also just a drop of yellow-orange to the mixture will add an "airier" space with more feeling of depth (rather than darkness). I hope this better explains what I was saying without being too repetitive.
