Value check
Hi Leslie -
I can tell you've been working hard. It has definitely improved.
This is a tough photo to work from, however. She really does have different sized eyes, for instance. I guess she has a mannerism in which one eye squints more than the other.
I am still bothered by her mouth and chin, especially on her right side (our left). That side of the face appears to drift too far to the side, making her look unsymmetrical.
Also, are your values accurately portrayed online? The values in the painting seem to be overly contrasted, at least on my monitor. I see a lot of cool, very subtle, tone variations in the photo that I don't see in the painting at the moment.
