Re: widely sad

If you must, crop the right side. Make sure you keep the puppy on the left.
Personally I think it's fine as it is, a typical La.

Re: widely sad

Good creative stuff. I would not crop down to the face, there's just not enough happening there. I would crop off from right or left to "de-center" the face.

Re: widely sad

You are very prolific and I rarely can comment on your work. It just confuses me and I wonder where you are coming from. It is difficult to see what is in this painting so I won't critique. Have fun and keep them coming.

Re: widely sad

I like the off center crop idea too.
