Hi Leslie,
I think it depends on what you are aiming for. You said you liked the similarity between the roses and the face of the child. Without knowing that, one would say the roses are too dominant. But when you want to create a piece in which there is a rhythm or a pattern in which the roses and the child are connected, one can think about taking this more to an extreme and exaggerate the similarities between them even more. But to do this you will probably go into a whole different area than what you regularly are aiming for in painting a portrait.
I saw your work on your website. I like the idea of doing portraits outdoors. I especially like 'Linda's Garden'. Beautiful atmosphere.
Greetings,
Peter
