Garth, this is great! I love her expression, her posture, and her hands.
You have integrated the background so well. The edge of the mantel and the corner of the painting kind of tug at each other, establishing a tension and balance from left to right. The whimsical Christmas stuff and the painting of the boat all hint at her spirit and taste and years of collecting homey objects. One thing I keep smiling at is the contrast between her smile and the mouth of the caroling doll on the mantel. That's such a priceless touch! I am sure this family will be happy to have Ellen still in the room with them.
