Beth,
I really like this portrait and the suggestion that Enzie made about Katie toying with a necklace sounds perfect. I like the tousled hair, I think you kept the value in her hair as well as in her face. I have to agree that her right eye that Michele mentioned could be adjusted a bit.
Just a few philosophical thoughts I have on your interesting model (yes, I'm getting philosophical as I sit iced into my old Ky. home). In my humble opinion, this painting has turned into a threshold portrait; a teenager stepping into womanhood. Her tousled hair but more formal dress, as well as the soft youthful roundness of her face but more mature penetrating eyes and full lips are what indicates this to me. Thus, toying with the necklace, toying with womanhood. I know, enough rambling.
Immersing yourself in art 24/7 is paying off. Good job!
