In looking at the image more closely, I particularly love the warm skin tone refections on the column - your gonna have a blast playing with that. Those reflections could really "make" the painting - it gives some life to the architecture that one can do in oil painting. It'll make the photo reference "eat dust".

How about scanning it at a high res., say 300. Get the best image you can get then send it to me and I'll send it back ready for posting. I presume you have a decent print?

I really liked that first image as posted. Personally I'd try to replicate that! To my eye the clearer version has too much information and chroma.
Good luck!
