Catherine,
I don't know that I agree about changing the direction of sitter or light as was suggested earlier by Tim, but flipped the painting to see what it would look like (I have a mirror in my studio that permits me to look at a reverse of the painting while I am working on it and often see problems that don't occur to me otherwise) and then moved the figure further back in the painting to give the head/face more room.
I hope you don't mind my playing with your pianting and hope it helps.
