Failure

This is a painting I did a few years back now and in my opinion failed at.  I thought it was a really good idea, I just think it has two huge mistakes in it.

1)  The girl on the right is just off.  Her shoulders are way too big, the color is off and her face is just wonky.  I re-worked it about 200 times but I just couldn't get it right.

2)  The composition is too flat.  I could have found better ways to bring the viewer into the scene.  

Even though I consider this painting a failure, it was also a learning experience.  After this painting I've spent more time on the initial sketch and setup, re-working the composition, and it just drove home the importance of a model.
