Janet,
I think that you will find that doing the portrait over again while applying the counsel given in this thread will be very encouraging to you as it will show the big leap in progress you are making.
With respect to love, the Greeks have four terms for love. One of them is agape which is principled love. So to keep out of trouble here, let me state I have agape your lovely model and agape for you as a dedicated artist trying to improve her craft. Whew...hope I am home safe on that score.
Don't get discouraged. You have the makings of a very fine artist and you are already 70% maybe 80% ahead of most individuals who try portrait art. Keep the brushes moving.
