Hi Ilaria,
I absolutely love how you have painted these girls--they are so appealing and full of life, and their expressions and positons are so animated, they look as if they are wiggling and moving about, and you just pinned them down on the canvas. Frankly I don't know how you managed to do this from life!
I'm assuming you want to integrate them into their setting, but I'm wondering whether you could eliminate some of the detail in the background. The shelf with the books on it seems too detailed and distracts from the subjects. I'm not even convinced the couch needs to be there. Also, I'm wondering whether moving the back wall up toward the girls (so the space doesn't go back so far) would help keep the viewer's eyes from wandering back into the room. I think simplicity would help. I love the rug pattern.
Alex
