Nice portrait but this is my constructive criticism. The painting looks off balance because the she is leaning from the right. This would have been OK if more would be shown where she is leaning on an armchair or something. This was done from a photograph, paint more from life so that you do not have too much respect for what the photo tell you. This may have been a photo with a flash because it is difficult to read the source of light. It looks like the lightest area is on her right cheek, if so the light was sort of from the left and the clothes and other parts of the face do not tell us exactly.
Hope this helps.
