Victorian Samantha - Painting in Progress

I've been working on a fun little painting, about 11" x 14", more of an illustration really. Below is my reference photo:And below this paragraph is the painting so far. I put Samantha in old-fashioned dress and boots, and I'm going to just surround her with flowers in all colours. Not sure if I should leave some white in the background or paint in sky & clouds. What do you think?
I was also excited to hear that a gallery that used to represent me, in Grande Prairie, Alberta, is now taking art on consignment again. They have changed ownership and so before I sign anything I'll be going in to meet the new owners and see how I feel about them. I try to be very selective of who represents me, and make sure my work is a good fit for their space.
