A fine composition, Sandy. I really like the position of the hands. I kind of wish she’d been against a better background, like some drapery, but it does add some more parallel lines.

Sandy, the hands stand out surrounded by both the vertical lines of the strings and the horizontal lines of the panelling behind. You’ve got a good wide range of tonalities also.
