Toe Cross ~take two



So.... I kept looking at yesterday's painting and wasn't happy with it.  After looking at it today, I found a couple things to change..and did.  Can you find them?  (hint: one is an addition; one a subtraction).  Along the way a couple areas were altered just by virtue of the bigger changes I made: I lost some of the red tones in the background which I liked but prefer this  one better overall. 

This piece was challenging mainly because the girls were in shadow, back-lit, esp in the photo -  the girls, the walls, the bed - all were about the same value.  That's what I love about painting - you can go in any direction you want.  Took a lot of liberties with this one.
