Right arm




Dear Friends,

Please help me with the composition of this commission (24" x 30" with cream ground) if you will. The title is Michal and Shelley.

Does the mother's right arm stop too abruptly behind the daughter? If so what are some options?

Also, do you feel that the background is too cold?

One last one: The light in the room acted exactly as it shows in the resource photo, but it looks a little questionable to have strong light on one subject and not the other. I tried putting strong light on the mother's hair at the far right and it didn't show up. Any suggestions. I would really appreciate any input you could give me.

Thank you so much.

Mary Short
