Graydon Carter Pancake Revision

I have a hard time leaving anything alone, including this painting from a week ago of Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter playing a pancake fiddle. The original painting is still viewable as the original thumbnail on the Ebay auction page.

The main revision here, other than reworking various detail, was to make an allusion between Carter's hair and smoke. The look of indifference is the transition between the fire in the background and the smoldering hair.
