Moderator? Can you replace the image above with this one and delete this post?

ReNae, Given the intervening posts and critiques, it would probably be confusing to switch the images around.
You'll find that your digital camera will "see" things and record them, even if your own eye kind of unconsciously ignores them, and it might take a little while to become sensitive to that. It looks like there's a little glare on the left side, and this is going be particularly problematic when it comes to assessing the values and hues of your shadows on that side. The glare may be from a light that is too directly behind you, or it may be reflected light up off the white chair (toss a dark piece of fabric over the chair).
Even with digital, it pays to "bracket" your shots, altering slightly the camera settings, distance from the painting, light configuration, a few shots indoors, maybe some more outside, and so on, so that somewhere in there you'll have just the perfect exposure and composition. One nice thing about digital, of course, is that you just delete the other images, instead of throwing away bad prints that you've already paid for.
