I decided the man at the top of the stairs will work if I darken his
clothing a little, so I am adjusting this. Today I have worked in
various areas of the painting. I worked on the tarp above the
vegetables, added a shadow area under the tarps. This really added a
new dimension to the painting and made it more interesting. I added the
rope hanging from the front edge of the tarp. This also helped to place
the tarp into proper prospective. I also added more details to the
lower steps, showing more of the cracks and shadows on their topside.

I decided to change the woman on the left at the top of the stairs.
After going through my reference photos I chose one of a man with a
strong light source. After painting out the woman and sketching in the
man, I am still not sure about the figure. The lighter color of his
clothing does not work as well in that area. Oh well, I won't think
about that tonight, there is always tomorrow.
