OK, Steven.
I went back to the painting and after careful study I begin to see what you were talking about.
Fearful to start making a correction of that magnitude on the painting, I decided to take it into Painter first and play with the correction.
This way I can see if it looks right, then go to the painting itself. So, that being said, here is the correction, tell me if I am on target.
I am putting the old pic and the revised pic here together for easier comparision.

This seems to be in the right direction!
It looks better to me than the previous!
