Thank you Chris, Jerome and Alex.
As you can see, I have been making some adjustments taking note of all that has been said.
I am worried at this stage that I may be going into 'overkill' and starting to fiddle. There is still plenty of scope for more detail on the top.....which looks more like a dress now! However, I am inclined to leave out a lot of the detail in the top. Do you agree?
Chris. Your advice was invaluable and I have worked on all of your suggestions. I hope that I haven't taken your suggestion of her holding a cup too far by adding the table with the rather flat looking saucer on it which I intend to adjust.
Alex. I have only just read your post and I will be working on your suggestions when I go back to the easel so thanks for that.
Thanks again everyone
Barbara
