It's very cool, I also love the muted colors. And like the others, the first thing that came into my mind was loss, or missing baby, or wanting one.

I like both simple backgrounds and detailed. It really depends on your intention and how much energy you have, hee hee. I think this works as is. Perhaps you could imply a subtle hint of bed around her.

Great job, nice style.

how peaceful and lovely….

and I too agree with Lisa, that there is an essence of “missing” someone…perhaps a child.

Wonderful take also on the theme, after a week of living with “WORRY”.

Well, I saw a grown up “BABY”, just longing to be back at that stage! That would be nice at times…
Nice and peaceful it is. Thank you…

Nice! You asked for opinions: I second (or third or fourth?) what your first commenter, Lise M Griffin, says. Perhaps the muted colors suggest the feeling of longing or melancholy.

This is so nice! I love the muted colors you used, really set the mood of the piece. Great job getting out of the comfort zone. I hope you do more like this, its very nice.

Your intention is to show her sleeping peacefully so I think the quiet background helps to reinforce this idea. Very nice :)
