Mari,

I think this work demonstrates a great movement forward in your artistic development.

I think that it is better to leave a life painting intact and not rework it when you bring it back to your studio. You might alter an observation that you improperly stated and deny yourself any future opportunity to refer back to it.

I think this is particularly true if the work has been done during a workshop or under the guidance of a teacher you consider to be well informed.

At any rate, congratulations.
