Thank you.

I may keep this square.

I think what you are seeing, Chris is the spare brush going at a slight downward angle. I was working to think circle. Not that all the extra really is useful, but on the whole picture that tends to echo the arm going out on the bottom. Think wide oval and see if it fits this whole better.

I also see how the bit of the brush past my thumb needs clarification. I need to connect it more clearly to the handle so it doesn't turn back again.

Editing.... did you mean by tangent that it was hard to distinguish the background from the foreground? I felt happy with the rhythm of the horizontals. The subtle turn of the arm in front and the back direction of the brushes, not exactly straight were all to make that internal spin.

I was hoping while looking at the details in the brushes, you would subliminally see the glasses. They are usually on my nose but the boyfriend actually said he liked looking at my WHOLE face so I put them on top.
