I finally feel confident enough about my latest painting to post it for critique. It is 24 x 18 inches, oil on canvas.

It will be hanging in an office with fluorescent lighting, which unfortunately has made the skin tones more yellowish than they appeared in my home.

I've been improving dramatically with each painting I've done, and this site has taught me so much!

My biggest concern while I was working on this was that perhaps the background was too busy. I hope that the white dress has drawn more attention to the subject than the flowers and fountain.

Thanks for any critiques!
