Good job on the face, but watch the hard edge on the lower lip. Apples were added secondary and are out of proportion. Look at the size of the apple at her feet, it would be twice the size of the others to appear that large from this distance. The placement of the apples at the hands also says that there was a problem with the hands and the apples are there to cover it up, too obvious. Foreground flowers are nice but show that the background flowers are way out of scale and appear to be falling over onto the child. Keep the child, done well, but change the background so as to not pronouce the problems with the other things.
Artist Reply: Thank you very much for your honest and detailed comment. I am a self-taught "artist", or may be will be more accurate to say person who enjoys painting in her free time. I started painting only during the beginning of the last year, and I really appreciate your suggestions, and find them very helpful.
