Dianne,
I really like this painting. It's true that simpler lighting would make the three-dimentional effect more convincing and easier to achieve. But I find the pattern of light and shadow on the model's face interesting.
There are two main issues that stand out for me.
1) The left side of the model's mouth (right side of painting) seems stretched out, and so does her entire jaw on that side. Of course this is just compared to the way she looks in the photo.
2) The background is distracting, especially the light, jagged shape in the top right. It actually breaks up into pieces that do not all read as being background. I would suggest you try for a more unified background, especially since her face is full of pattern.
I think you have done an excellent job under challenging lighting conditions.
