Linda:
You and I have discussed this portrait on the SP forum, so you know that I really like it. It appears to be almost "lit from within".
I guess that my only comment would be that some of the value variations in the piece are not taken very far. So, while the whole painting looks quite 3dimensional, parts of it appear flatter than others - parts of her hair for example appear flat while other parts appear more rounded and full. The garment is great! The pose and expression are perfect for a very quiet thoughful piece - it looks like she is listening to a story read by someone off canvas.
Remind us again of what colors you used to paint this?
