Fedora Refined

Updating the post below regarding Fedora.  Here’s the finished painting.  This photo is a little saturated, and the inky blacks have lost some of the subtlety of the actual picture, but you will get some idea that the colors have been refined.  When the three brightest areas in the top half of the picture – the white wall above the payphone on left, washed-out area center left around Oscar statuette, and ceiling at right – started getting more assertive I felt like I was finally getting there.  The space feels right now.  But I think I need to do another one of the bar here at Fedora.  Something about the low-ceiling vibe needs another go to get it right.
