This is a very charming picture, but I want to know if you took the original photograph and what size is the painting?
By the way, I paint from my original photographs and one of the reasons I do is because a photo can capture an exact instant like this one. I can't imagine how a child would stand still enough for an artist to paint this.
Anyhow, I would like to see much lighter shadows with more luminosity. Also, since you show the feet, it might be interesting to establish a sense of grounding along with some background "depth".
