Hi Valentino.
Thank you for sharing your painting process with us.
I think that you do right in moving the cabinet a little to the left to avoid the conflict with the Rectors head. This also make a better flow in the diagonal.
I hope that you will share many more of your thoughts along the way.
Allan

No part of this painting is finished yet (though the armchair is almost done). Regarding the cabinet, the more I look the sketch, the less I'm inclined to include it in the composition of the final painting.
I think I'll put the drapery of some sort (or curtain) behind the sitter, instead.

A completed painting...
The colors are, as they always are, a bit off. The original background is a tad warmer and more neutral.

Fantastic! I'd love to see some close ups of his hands and face.

Bravo! Valentino, you aquitted yourself very well with this piece. I think you solved all your initial issues with panache. Those reds are delicious.
I think your client will be very pleased.

Valentino, I love this strong painting, especially the facial expression and the dramatic way you've arranged the composition. Terrific!
