I think the painting itself is well done, soft and sensitive, and I especially like the way you handled the dress. Very nice!

This is more of an opinion than a critique, but I think the composition would have been better if more of the cello was represented in the painting. Sort of like seeing the painting through a camera's eye and zooming out a bit. Or maybe if she had been touching the cello in some way, to make a connection between the two. It seems as if the cello is leaning against her, but the two seem strangely separate.

What do you think?
