I really struggled with this one, and it's been painted and re-painted and darkened and lightened and darkened again many times. I also managed to get fresh cadmium orange oil paint on two pairs of pants and one sofa arm as I carried it around, still wet, placing it in different locations to attempt to get a read on whether it was too yellow or not yellow enough or too pale or too contrasty. Finally, enough! As my old friend Steve Jackson told me, "A work of art is never finished, it is merely abandoned."
