I'm calling her done
Unless you have some suggestions that would not overwhelm me (ie scare me that I will RUIN this portrait) I am calling her done. I know there is so much that I don't like, but I am happy it holds together. In other words, there are two eyes, a nose, a mouth, an expression I like!!
It's the most I hoped for this being my first truly completed portrait in oils. I present it on April 2nd, so if anyone has desperate measures I should take to improve it, let me have at it!!
Thank you for looking and for all of your advice and support, which I take seriously.

Pat-
I've never presented a portrait without having some of those feelings you describe. Just keep them to yourself. Your client will be plenty happy, as there's plenty here to be happy about. So enjoy it--you've earned it.
As with most things in life that are worthwhile, I've found that what I was the most afraid of ended up being what I've come to look forward to.
Best--TE

Pat, I agree with the others, this turned out well. I especially like the chin coming out of the cowl (is that what to call it?) - it's like you can reach out and grab it. I'm looking forward to hearing how your presentation goes.
Debra
