The problem is how to make her more important than the clock. Maybe decreasing the size of the clock in relation to her, or placing Victoria in front of it. You have some major competition going on here. Focusing the light on her face with the clock in shadow would put the emphasis on her and also make the clock easier to paint. I now wish I had put more light on Clea's face (the rose) and will have to do that for the painting from life.
