I was never quite happy with this painting, so ... with help in class, I resized the canvas -- smaller, and did some repainting to get a new painting. Here you can see it in it's repainting stages.
What did I learn...this was an awkward original composition and angle. I learned that high value shifts should be reserved for the areas of the most interest -- hence less contrast back on the wheel chair. I think with right sizing of the canvas, he is a better fit and it is a better painting.
