Hi,

I've recently joined the Forum, and this is my first painting posted for critique. It is 16"x 12", acrylic on Masonite board. It's from a direct flash photo, which is why the depth in her face is a little lacking. I kept her surroundings bold (even though I've read it shouldn't be done), as I thought it enhanced the innocence of the picture. I have already given the portrait away, but am looking forward to some straightforward criticism that I can learn from in the future.

Thanks in advance,
Holly
