Jan, I think all the advice you've been getting is excellent, so I don't have much to add, but Allan's comment here really sums it up. I would go over the entire portrait, including the hand, correcting all drawing problems. The areas of hands and face are, as you know, simply areas of smaller-scale shapes and edges that need smaller-scale attention, as described above. The first and third fingers of the hand read incorrectly to me, but I think when you reaccess the forms, edges, values, etc., you will correct the way they read. It's a lovely painting and I can't wait to see what you do with it.
