Ya know, now that youve mentioned it, that IS what has bothered me all along about this painting. I should've just moved the shed over to her shadow side, (allowing the highlight side of the shed to be behind her shadow side of the face) and let the dark fence go against the highlight side of her face.
I knew the reds would be pretty overpowering in this. Although it doesnt show up here, almost all of the dark areas up in the trees have a lot of red in them. In fact, most all the shadow areas of the background have a lot of red in them. There is red brushed through much of the grass too, it just doesnt seem to show here.
I also tried to push as much green as possible through her dress to help tone down the reds.
But none of that really bothered me too much. Its having that shed directly centered behind her that bothered me. I just couldnt put my finger on it til you pointed it out.
Thanks for the help. I always intend to learn something from every painting I do.
