Dear Mike,
I found myself thinking about this painting long after I got off the Forum last night. It has a haunting, poignant quality to it that makes it special.
Good for you for posting it here, so you won't be coaxed into altering it. In my opinion, a painting that evokes feeling is a hundred times more valuable than one which just satisfies a checklist of correct values, color, composition, edges, and the like. ("The Raft of the Medusa" is one of my favorite paintings. Shamelessly emotional, isn't it?) And, for the record, your "checklist" of values, color, etc., looks just fine to me.
