here's the finished piece. i decided i would take advice and i learned alot.
i decided to cut off the edge so she wasnt equidistant from the edge as the diver picture was from the left. halvway through cutting it off i got the impulse to make a color section that tied in the diver and made the piece more interesting. she also now more mirrors the diver in the sense that ner pointed out: shes close to an edge.
more coming, i have a show opening at brg so im hella busy.

nice changes! i think what makes it for me is the harmony of the green in the upper right/lower left and left right blue. good use of tape...the straight hard edges contrast nice with the more aggressive brushwork in the figure and dark background.
check out this painting which you probably saw with me at the met:

i fucking love how that triangle shape repeats itself in the boys face and in the grass out the window. i think about that painting a lot. how he didn't give a shit and just put the triangle in the boys face because it was better aesthetically. so you have some elements like that in your paintings...you pull it off well.
that blue band on the right and the long tilted ellipse give this a lot of layering depth. It's kind of a surprising twist from the basic image you posted earlier.
