Please let me know if I should fix anything. I had a hard time with the hands. Also, the little girl's
lips and dress. Overall color?
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Mary. Overall color to me looks pretty good. I might tone down the brightness of the girl's dress some. Couple other things I noticed. His hand looks out of proportion. I would find a photo of a man's hand in a similar position from another photo and just transplant it. I would put back the small red triangle in the lower part that's in the original and also show some of the red dress between the mom's arm and the girl's hair. I'm not sure what you could do about the girl's arm. Maybe a little more shading? It's in a weird position. Just my humble opinion.

Mike

I like your repairs Mary!
Hands are so hard to paint, look at the great old painters and their most amazing work: the hands usually look bad!

Try to widen the man's wrist some where it it leaves the jacket sleeve and the lady's thumb just a little bit smaller and the middle of her hand a little "fleshier" towards the thumb?

Wonderful repairs Mary. Hands are SOOO hard to me. Feel your pain. Hannie's tips will be the ticket. Good luck!

Thank you all for your comments and suggestions. I tried doing everything except the small red triangle at the bottom which was actually damage. I hope this passes. I don't think I have the expertise to do anything else. ::)
