My idea of a figurative painting is pretty much a landscape with a person in it. This is what I saw in the second photo. The more it gets cropped the more of a burden there is to call it a portrait of a person. Although the crop of the second could done and my daughter could be recognizable, I didn't think it had all the good qualities of light that you might expect from a portrait.
Also, if I did this, it would be done very loosely and be something of just shapes of dark and light and color. Maybe not quite as loose as the following but close.
What think you?
