If I could offer my spare change ...
Regarding the size of the painting - I would paint the cropped version large, giving her generous room on all sides. More room than your cropped version indicates.
If you will calculate her head to be life size, say something in the 7" range, then let the rest of her body be driven by that head calculation. After doing that, give her plenty of room on all four sides and then you'll have it. Don't worry about the standard canvas sizes, in my opinion I think this may calculate to be something un-standard.
