Carol,

What I meant was that you have stretched the figure in the hight but not so much in the with. That is because you have attempted to fill the canvas in the same proportions as you see on your reference photo.

If you measure on your photo, a horizontal line from the nose of Teddy the Bear and to the upper limit of the Orange Shorts you will see that they almost level.
Now, if you do the same on the canvas, you will see what I mean.

By the way, I like your painterly approach.

Allan
