I probably don't need to tell you that the figure falls apart in the neck/shoulder area. Looks like a tough spot to paint, but she has a Gumby quality there. Then just behind, the flesh rolls should have more of a tonal fluctuation rather than just separated with a sharp line. But the rest works well; the hand is fantastic, the cloth, and her moving melting into the background.
As for the landscape, your marks are much improved from your last batch. What's the next step, though? A focal point? More substance? Think about it.
On the figure:I would add that the thigh feels a little underdeveloped also.
The landscape shows great steps forward in depth, color, variation in mark-making etc. As far as a focal point,I'm drawn pretty quickly into the band of orange in the middle of the piece. The intensity there works nicely.
