Really, the spotlight light is not on the background, but on the back side of the girls. The background is in the shadow. In a back-lit subject such as this, should I darken the fence and background more, and darken the face shadow more with stronger highlights, or does the outdoor back lit scenario just not work for me at all? Perhaps a darker shadow falling across the table forward towards the right might help show the light coming from the left over the shoulder.
No big deal, anyway. I just liked the subject, and saw a challenge in painting it. I will fool around with it a bit more, probably until it is so overworked the oil paint starts to squeek!
