T too like your painting. It's really a matter of the intensitiy of the light that you want the image to have, however if I were to nit pick, I would suggest very small dark exageraions where there is less light. That will give the image more punch, and you can start to play with where you want the eye to move to next.

Veroccio,

Thanks. I'll take a look at the painting and think about your suggestion. Darker darks may or may not be appropriate for shadows on a white wall.

i like your painting, but those shadows are too chalky, use pure pigment for some parts in those shadows (if you havent done it yet) darker darks that is. That will also give more relief into your work. The rendering is great.
Nice site too good luck!
