Dear Pam

Your colors and values are great. The painting is very nice. Just a few suggestions.

1. the mandolin's body and stem do not seem to be facing the same direction.

2. If the figure was shifted just a little to the right the composition would be better. I usually place my unstretched canvas on a foamboard with a few extra inches in width and height from it's intended size. This allows me to adjust the position of the figure right, left, up or down as needed when I finally stretch it. One note of caution, if you have vertical and horizontal items in your painting, don't do your detail on the painting until it is stretched.

Hope this helps.

Daniel
