He looks... waxed. The amount of fine detail in the image actually seems to have been reduced.

I was hoping for visible brush strokes. After all this is an oil painting, not a photograph. And it isn't all that hard to apply a brushstroke effect. As illustration, even PSP can do it:

I'm not arguing for this as a submittal. I'm no artist like Purgator. I just wanted to give an idea of what I am thinking.

That looks more like a latch-hook rug, Larry! :laff:

I said "I'm no artist ...".

I know, I was just being silly.

Me too. Sort of. :p

I'm not so sure visible brush strokes are the way to go, in this context.
If you can see brush strokes in game, it would imply the painting was executed with very large paint brushes, not a typical technique in oil painting.
Traditionally, brush work is blended for a softer effect with portraits (not always) and then a top coat of varnish is applied.
I've applied a couple of filters here.
I'll work on it some more when I have time.

This looks much better, thanks! :)
If it's a light source it means that it is made of glass, right? All those scratches make it appear as wood instead.
If it's not too much trouble, the light of the pub should be fixed as well. :o
