I think she's just lovely, Julianne. You've caught her face and expression beautifully, and I like the soft treatment. The dark background complements her skin and dress well; good choice. The only suggestion I'd make is to take another look at the color of the bodice versus that of the skirt; the skirt seems pinker and somehow of a different material than the bodice, so they don't appear to belong to the same article of clothing. I like the way the pink picks up the background but somehow the two segments need to be integrated better.
Is this a commission, and what made you choose oils rather than pastels? I think it works quite well, so I'm just wondering, not having pastels as an option yet myself.
