Thank you so much Marina. That does seem to be the consensus. I very much appreciate your critique - thank you!

I wonder what this painting looks like now? It's very lovely. Same with Alexandra and Marina, my eyes go directly to the urn at the bottom. I wouldn't think you have to change the composition at all, but what about strengthening the color harmony? If you worked some of the reds from the urn into the atmosphere in the upper part of the painting, and cut some hard edges around her shoulder or head, that might do the trick.

Ditto what's been said. I think your idea of the urn is good , but it looks to stacked in a row to me. My eye wants it to balance the composition with it by putting it a little further back and left.

I really like the vessel concept, and you painted her beautifully.

Peace, Dave

Lisa, it is lovely! You did such a wonderful job with everything that you really need to pay closer attention to her fingers. The anatomy of her left finger is off and that to me weakens the wonderful underlying drawing skill you have shown elsewhere. Can't wait to see the final result being posted!
