Lisa,

I like the way you've painted her very much. The pose, modeling and expression are well handled. The sketchy background is wonderful. I'm glad you left it just that way. You really know how to move a brush around.

The one thing that bothers me is the red urn at her feet. The color is so intense and it is crisply articulated (shiny), so that my eye is drawn towards it, away from her face. But I'm really not too interested in resting my eye just there--I'm more interested in the girl, so it is vaguely annoying. Also there is the question of why she is standing RIGHT next to an urn. It might help to push it back in space so there is just a little separation. Personally I would love to see another color, even blue/white. A dark cat might also be interestng instead of the urn.
