Hi Jennifer,

I would like to point at a few details in the face which, by making minor adjustments, could make the face more like her. I tried to illustrate this with a few green dots and lines.

The face is in the painting very round. The cheek on the (for us) left would benefit by adjusting it a little bit, giving it more definition of the form of her face. The right side of her mouth you could extend a little bit to the right. Her eye, for us on the right-side, is painted it a bit too low, as is with the eyebrow above the same eye. You painted her ear also a little bit too low. Special attention is needed on the jaw-line on the (for us) right; you extended the area of the reflected light there a bit too much below her jaw-line. I placed a few dots to show this.

Greetings,
Peter
