Linda,

I know what you are saying, the mother asked me to do the shirt light blue, I was thinking about that orange reflection while I was painting him and not sure how to handle it.

While the mother is paying me, it is a very nominal amount. She wanted a painting of that particular picture, I wanted a reason to practice the pastels. So, here I am. She hates orange and loves him in light blue, she isn't local, she is actually someone I met on another forum, so reshooting the photo isn't an option, I don't even know where she lives yet.

She has seen this draft and loves it as is. Im going to follow Michelles advice though and work on the shadows for my own peace of mind. Maybe if I reflect more blue where the orange is reflecting that will work?
