Progress.
My friend has a real Lucille Ball sparkle. The reference has a very stifled smile. Like it is hard for her to contain a toothy grin, but she matches the mood of the others more.
She gave me enough clues that she likes the look of the original snapshot and I am working toward it.
I really hesitate to post the reference. It is sort of direct representation, but I am working from a lot of shots that show different aspects. When I come up against a client problem that I can't quite get a handle on, I will ask for some comparison suggestions.
At any rate, it is dry enough that I will work a bit on the hair and clothing tomorrow. I need to dry it for the two weeks before Father's Day as I am going to ship it back and do final tweaks there in July. Want to finish as fast as I can so it will benefit from this LOVELY lack of humidity!!
