I am working on a painting of two orphans from Uganda. Today I looked at it and thought, "Maybe I should have cropped it closer on top, not left so much space above the childrens' heads." What do you think?

Well, I tried to compress the file but can't get it smaller than 112. So, I can't attach it. Also, when I do that, it gets very fuzzy. Any suggestions?

Also, I would love to go to seminars and get some mentoring. However, it appears that all of the workshops are out of my area. Does anyone know any good artists in the Sacramento area who give workshops?

Thanks.
