[Aquanet] Scoot painting

[Nita Leland]

Chris Peters's painting really captures a wonderful moment in childhood. That little girl is ready to go and no doubt about it. The drawing is good, color is lively and it makes me smile. As others have said, there is a little problem with the chin. Rather than redo the whole painting, as it might lose some its freshness, see if you can lift some of the red color on the chin below the highlight and soften the dark line around the mouth a little, as well. You don't have to go back to white paper. I'm thinking "micro-adjustments." Then, to define the chin, slightly darken the upper arm behind it. The painting really is a treasure. I'm wondering what it's dimensions are.
