April,

It's is exciting to see you working in color, though I also love your monochromatic paintings. To me the color seems very pleasing and interesting. You've put in variations without breaking apart the vlue massing. I would agree with most of the above comments, except I do like that your sweater is draped unevenly on you shoulders. (I like the way you've indicated the light and shadow on your sweater, too.) The one thing that stands out for me is the nose; the bottom plane seems to be on a different angle than the head (tilted up from L to R), so that we see no nostril, whereas one would see some of both nostrils if the nose were tilted the same way as the head (down from L to R).
