Chuck,
what a nice subject and light !

I think that you could get a better color balance in the painting by reinforcing the light effect.
The light is warm yellow / orange and is reflected in the hair. Since the hair is also yellow /orange it will only reflect those colors and that will be the colors dominating the shadow areas on the left side, the eye, cheek, nose and chin areas.

See, this will introduce a fairly good part of warm colors in the composition to balance the colds.
