Hhhmmmm. I see an anomaly with the mullions in the forward window already. And the dog doesn't seem to be smiling his little smile. Got to fix those things. I do like this background better, thanks to all. If anyone would care to help me finish up with this through their comments, I would be grateful.

To the wonderful person who kindly PMed me about the lopsided eyes: I used Linda Brandon's kind suggestion of an acetate tracing of a same-size print to check throughout the painting process. I also same-sized the photo of the painting over top of the ref shot and slid the transparancy back and forth, and I am just not seeing what you see. And you are not seeing what I see in that this man is more crooked than you know. This pose doesn't even hint at the sins of his nose. He has 12 point vanishing perspective on his face!

Thanks for all your help, Janet
