I'll split this critique in two sections: "BACKGROUND" and "FOREGROUND."
BACKGROUND
Compared to your previous works, the background to this picture is amazingly executed. The bricks are by far the best part of it. I like how you blended so many different colors to make the bricks look less boring for lack of better word for it. Had the bricks been monotonous in color, they will not have much of an impact or presence.
Perspective wise, there are flaws. I do like the sense of perspective provided by the bookshelf and the windowsill. However, the table, chair, books, and to some extent, the picture frame contribute little or nothing to it because they look so flat from this vantage point. For instance, the chair looks like it only has two legs or is very, very close to the wall. The same thing can be said about the table.
I think the candles should contribute more in lighting the scene more to create a little more impact. Right now, they don't seem to illuminate anything.
The overall color scheme looks good, but I think the furniture could have received the same treatment as the bricks.
FOREGROUND
As usual, you did a splendid job. The bear and kitten looks alright as I don't seem to be bothered by anything from them.
The girl, however, has some flaws. The way she seems to be sitting shows the flaws. Her back looks a bit straight than normal. Her right leg is too conveniently eclipsed by her left leg from this vantage point.
CONCLUSION
Hopefully, the (very long) above critique helps.
The picture gives off such a sense of home, warmth, and content. It's very cute, as well.
I want to wear her sweater so badly!
Anyway, onto technique, I guess.
I love the bricks. All that effort and color went a long way. They look wonderful, and you should be proud of them.
The Kitten with the blanket is another nice touch, it really increases the warmth exuding from the picture.
If there hadn't been books in the picture, I would have liked it less for some reason. I think it's because the books add another layer of "home" feeling. As do the slippers.
Just another wonderful piece from you.
