Dianne, I wouldn't continue at all if I were you.
I find it very complete as it is.
I really don't like vignette portraits, except if the empty space is structured as in this case. The unfinished portion is there to testify your process, and further work will weaken the painting which is instead very interesting.
I believe that, if you will continue from a photo, you will not resist the temptation to "correct" the head and bring it to a higher degree of finish, thus loosing its strenght.
Reconsider your work with confidence and you will see that it's perfect as it is!
Ilaria

Thank you Ilaria for your vote of confidence and your kind comments. I have to say though that I did work on it quite a bit today so I guess we are all a little too late. Hope I didn't ruin it. Here is what it looks like now.
Please pardon the gloss from the wet paint.
Dianne
