Very nice. Maybe something plum up higher in the painting would balance things out well too -- maybe a flower in her hair that is the same color as the floor covering? And plum in the halftones and shadows of the figure where appropriate. You wouldn't want a really strong color on the floor that isn't echoed anywhere else in the painting. Let us know how it progresses!
The plum is actually a very dusty soft color. For some reason my camera has always had problems with the violets especially when the color is very subtle. I'll be painting it from life anyway. I'll go looking for flowers tomorrow, and then get the model over here and play with lighting. I've tried to get either of my sons to pose with the dress but no takers.
