I would appreciate any feedback on this portrait. It was requested by the client to have a WW2 theme, he had supplied the background print. It was a fun portrait to paint, I did the initial drawing from life and took color samples of the skin tones. Any thoughts how to better relate the vibrant skin tones to the overall dark background and clothing?

16x20, oil on canvas. Reference photo provided as well.

Thanks,

Terri
