Terri, correct on all counts except his hairline. It indeed had/has a sweep back compared to his left (our right) side. This was my first attempt at a 3/4 portrait and I struggled in many areas, especially the coat and sleeve. I like the painting for the subject and the lessons it taught me and still teaches me.
Just like my dad.

Hi John, I'd like to see the reference. Maybe we can help with proportion. Something seems to be off. His hands are very nicely done, and his gaze is hypnotic.

Jean, I am happy to post the reference but it may take me a while. If you don't mind and can be patient I'll get it posted as soon as I can.
Thanks for your offer.

Here is a photo of the photo of my dad that I used for my reference. It is too contrasting here and has a little glare on the mid to lower half but hopefully you can get the idea.
