These are the first full figures I have ever attempted*, criticism is 
invaluable.
Thanks for taking the time to include the diagram, specific examples are 
much more valuable than general comments. If it's alright with you I 
would like to use the same critical process with the other figures too. 
   Generally I think my difficulty comes with the need to envision the 
figures in more detail than is given in the painting.  I am much more 
mimetic than synthetic in artistic temperament. So I can use all the 
help I can get.  The foreground family in particular is going to be huge 
in comparison to the size of foreground figures in a Canaletto for instance.

baseball.  She struck out one batter then walked in five runs.  But she
came back in the bottom of the inning and hit a homerun!
