Beginning Painting - Bonnard naked lady postcard

The entire canvas, courtesy of my trusty Canon PS400 SureShot.
(The dumb thing refuses to wear out or break. )Below: from my crappy scanner. Most accurate color with best detail [click on it to see what I mean], but I couldn't fit it all & I didn't know yet how to "merge" on Photoshop.


This is copied from a tiny postcard version of Bonnard's La Toilette 1914 (a.k.a. Toilette Rose). (the postcard I worked from had slightly different colors than the original--click thumbnail at link to zoom) My attempt is unfinished, as you can see--I had to return the postcard to my teacher. She picked it out for me when she saw I was headed toward copying a nice, simple painting of a bowl of fruit.
