Y'all are too goooood!

I really appreciate the help!

Chris, the resource photo was taken with natural light (window) with a fill light on the side. I didn't realize when looking at it that it would give the impression of a studio flash. I'm still trying to figure out the best posing and lighting methods within the confines of my small studio.

I have reposted a more accurate (as far as my monitor will reveal) finished portrait, color wise.

Leslie, I agree with your comments regarding values. I tend to have difficulty getting the darks really dark without going to the generic black. However, after this painting was completed and delivered, I acquired many more "darks" from the Unison brand that I believe will work in the future.
