Great portrait! My first thought when I saw it was that the reference photo was taken with too wide an angle lens, as Chris Saper suggested. That would account for the distortion in the features. The chin seems large in comparison with the rest of the face, etc. If you use a camera with a zoom lens, try zooming in a couple of steps before you take pictures of subjects or paintings. That will greatly reduce distortion.

Overall, though, a great job!
