Jeff I not only say bravo, but put a frame on it and hang it up.
I wouldn't take it any further, it's lovely as it - or just develop it as a Grisaille.
Why not simplify this part of the painting for the next time by just massing more of the shadow areas and not pulling out so much value detail to then just cover it up with paint. Unless you're planning to glaze, build your form with the color too.
Did Janice love it? I do!
I'm also looking forward to the next one.
