A finished(?) painting

I really liked how this turned out. I'm only wondering if I should add anything to the white background. Usually the portrait backgrounds are white, and I like that effect. People have sometimes commented that they look unfinished that way.

  1. The look on her face I think fits with the negative space there. Almost "heavenly awe".

  2. I like the unfinished feeling because it leaves room to imagine a future. She is going somewhere, she is not fixed to that moment in time forever.
