Hi Holly,
Just my 2 cents (less in some states) on your painting.
Really the only thing that bothers me is the large, yellow piece above the girl. The brightness detracts from the girl's face. Changing the color or omitting it altogether would help retain the center of interest.
Other than that, it's a great piece. Even with the flash photo source, I still get a sense of roundness on the girl's face, through your use of values. Great job on the sweater and hands also.
I'm sure the client/recipient is very happy. Good job!
