Aaah, the real reason...

Now I know why so many paintings show people facing away from the viewer. I was trying to make the farmer in "Milking Heidi" look more like my brother-in-law. After 3 hours of revisions on that one inch square of the painting, I decided Leonardo was brilliant: "What! You say the face does not look like the Duke? Who will know in 500 years!" 
I am not even going to post the photo of how "Milking Heidi" looks now. Even Heidi's other end does not look as good today  :(      
Maybe I will call this picture a 'study' and start over on the real one.
