I could sure use some expert eyes and a critique of this painting so far. I have included the reference photo which I did not want to use, but the customer insisted. I am barely a portrait painter and definately NOT a landscape painter so I could use your eyes. Is there a way to simplify this background and.
Also I do not know how to move forward on the hat???
I appreciate your looking.
Thanks
