Carolyn, I think you have a gorgeous portrait of a gorgeous woman here. What character in her face! What a gentle treatment you have done as well. It's lovely. I really like the way you often leave some unfinished parts where the ground is left untouched however, I find the trasition in this one a tiny bit harsh. I think because our eye is led from the subject to the little table there is an abrupt stop there. I agree, maybe some looser strokes could be added. Maybe a bit longer transition from the subject to the table. Truth is, I have no room to critique such a nice work and what I have said is only my opinon...except the part where I said it was gorgeous. That's a fact! You know, I even like the first picture you posted. Just the head and shoulders works for me too.
