Finally, a book to help you solve all your painting problems. Is there a good abstract idea underlying the picture? What details could be eliminated to strengthen the composition? Does the painting have a focus? Are the unessential parts subordinated? Does the painting "Read"? Could you finish any part of the painting?

Are the shapes too similar?
Value

Could the number of values be reduced?
