Telling a story

A wonderfully talented artist friend once told me make sure you tell a story when you create a painting.
A story creates interest.

Another wonderfully talented artist told me paint 3/4 figures and never put points of interest directly in the center of your painting.

The painting that I am currently working on hopefully reflects these words of wisdom. Story, 3/4 figure and not in the center.
This painting is not complete yet. Soon.
