Sorry for the short notice, but I need a critique today. I'm submitting this to a show, nothing big, just a local thing. But please comment on color, composition, and the annoyingly empty space in the top right hand corner...and anything else that crosses your mind. Thanks everyone!
And please keep in mind that the whole thing looks SLIGHTLY bluer than the actual painting...courtesy of quick-sloppy photography outside. Tried to photoshop it, but apparently I didn't make enough changes. And as with almost all of my paintings, the background is largely gold gesso.
Oh, and please don't tell me that my teddy looks like a rat. My husband already let me know.

There is an annoying "stop" right where the bear's nose and the book corner meet. One should overlap the other.
2nd that.
the composition is great, but i would also say that there needs to be some definition to provide more of a focus somewhere. every edge is treated the same, and almost all of the mark making is the same. she has no face, so i assume that either the book or the t-bear would be the focus, but they need to refined a little further to become so.
