Barbara,
Wow! You have been busy! I think you could have accomplished almost the same effect with the ultramarine if you had toned it down more but I love the results of your new efforts. I'm sure you're as satisfied with those folds as I would be; they really read like wrinkles in the cloth, now, and the whole painting is much more of a cohesive work because the tones all fit together so well.
You've also darkened the fingertips of her right hand more, but I think I'd darken them even more so that the value and coloration were similar to that of the back of her neck and jawline.
Really nice work! Is this a commission or a painting for your own collection?
