Beth,
This is shaping up very nicely.
Be careful about that leg on our right. In the photo, that knee is somewhere out of the picture, whereas in the painting it appears that you might have tried to keep it in by raising that leg up, which creates a somewhat awkward appearance of extreme foreshortening, and also makes her look off balance. She needs to have that leg down on the plane of whatever she's seated on. I would actually copy the flower pattern in the photo at that point, letting the petals get lopped off by the bottom border, suggesting the continuation of the leg beyond the border. The pattern that you have in place now makes it look like we're actually looking at the knee straight on.
