Hi SundryAddams,
I did a quick paint over, not really a paint over but rather an explanatory cover.
First thing I did was correct as many anatomy as I could with the figure, I feel the figure still needs work, i wrote on the paint over some of the modifications (hope you can read my hen skratch). Then I cropped the painting so her eyes crossed the top third line. I started to push back the far mountains into the background, objects farther away get lighter in value.
She also looks like she is afraid of the gun, she is leaning away from it. By turning her head and angling it slightly towards the gun You could use her body gesture to make it obvious she loves her gun:)
I did not address this but of you could add something to the foreground so you have a clear foreground, middle ground and background, it would help you work out values and composition. You could always do some quick thumbnails to work that out.
I hope some of this helps.
