Hi David,

Your grandaughter is gorgeous!

I understand your hesitation about the greens. First of all, your photo could probably use a little desaturation, which would help tone down those overly bright ones in the photo. If you have Photoshop, saturation can be adjusted.

I play around with all sorts of oil colors for landscapes, using among other things viridian, terre verte, sap green, any type of blue, any type of yellow, yellow ochre- sorry, I don't have a formula, and I'm no expert.
I really do like the greens listed above, but I use them in combination with other colors.
