Last, the photos present a color temperature problem. They contain no cool colors to counterbalance the powerful warms created by this extremely warm light source. Finding subtle places to place cools in the shadows may create some visual relief.
Chris, I'm glad you mentioned this. I was concerned about it, but don't know just how to resolve the problem. I've completed the sketch much as Mike suggested in the square format and am nearly ready to start applying color. (Will attach the reference photo here for simplicity.)

1) Here is the first question, and I am interested in hearing from anyone who knows. If this were your project, what cool colors would you use in conjuction with the warm colors in the reference?

2) Also, I read (I think on this Forum) that if a light source is warm, the shadows should be cool; conversely, if the light source is cool, the shadows should be warm. How does one arrive at the most ideal colors in this respect?
