Rebecca, first oil portrait nearing completion

[Monique McFarland]

I would like critiques on this painting. It is my first oil portrait. I have only done watercolor portraits in the past. I am attaching the ref. photo and a full length shot and a headshot. Any other closeups that are requested will be posted at that time. I want to go back and soften the edges of the coat a bit, but unless I find something else that needs tweaking, or get any other suggestions here, I am calling this one finished.

Thank you in advance for your time and comments and yes, digital manipulation is welcome.

P.S. I know I have thickened her hair slightly, but hopefully it does not take away from the likeness. Size is 16x20, oil on canvas.
