This is your best painting to date. The modeling and edges are very well done. Two suggestions. One, the dark lines at the corner of her mouth need to be lightened and look more subtle. They are too severe and don't enhance her smile. Second, the background to our left is too contrasty. It pulls my eye away from the light on her face.
I'm always happy to see you just painting and not trying to be painterly. Be the best Holly you can be. This is a big step.
