Linda,
This is a beautiful portrait.
I hope you will tolerate one suggestion which would be simple to execute.
Look in the area of the girl's right shoulder. In particular, the way the vest comes up and away from the top of the shoulder. In my opinion this is giving the illusion of a little girl who is a bit too thick. If you look at it back and forth to the photo it's obvious what has happened.
I think if you would flatten down the vest (take some of the air out of it) to just slightly off the shoulder, and keep the darker value at its edge, the little girl will not look quite so bulky. As I see the modification in my photo editor it seems to read better.
Nice painting, Linda.
