This is a luscious portrait. I agree with your decision to simplify the background given all the complex angles throughout.

The softeness is lovely. I think a few, well-placed hard edges near the faces (small sections of hair?) would pull the girls into focus, provide variety of texture, and enhance the painting.

Great job on foreshortening!
