As I first glanced at it I thought immediately of Frank Bensons paintings of his daughters and models. And then as I scrolled down lo and behold someone else makes a comment and nice reference.

I like the soft edges but I would love to see some accent colors in the face just a little as mentioned too. With the blue colors in the clothes and background it begs of a little orange here and there from my viewpoint. You do say a lot with a little though in your painting and that means a lot to me.

Thank-you, Alan. I appreciate what you said about suggesting with the paint rather than describing with too many details. That is my intention with painting.

Unfortunately this painting has turned into "Mother with Child", which I posted on the "member paintings from life" thread. But with all the encouragement about, and suggestions for bettering, "Child in Garden" I'll probably do another one.
