Holly,

I like the modelling of the head and the fresh feel of the whole painting. I can understand your not wanting to ruin the immediacy of it. One-shot, alla prima work is very hard to get right...looks like you've succeeded here.
If you were to put a gun to my head and say "critique!!" I would say that there is a faint diagonal across her neck from under her chin to where her loose strand of hair ends that kind of forms a triangle that at worst could be kind of distracting. But that's about it.
I've never done work from a monitor... gives me some ideas. I have, however, done sketches from the TV (interviews where they focus on the subject long enough) and have found it to be good exercise.
Once again: congrqatulations!

Carlos
