Hi, Mary,
Very sensitive and lovely, as are all your works. Good heavens, you should be teaching! Are you?
Only two items, briefly. I might try to find some color for the quite-white highlights and high half-tones. I think it would very much enrich the portrait. Doesn't have to be a lot, but all the pure (it seems) white has a cool (temperature) feel.
The white slash across the wing of the nose on the shadow side is a bit high in value and a little thin and wide in drawing. Squint at the photo and that light area almost disappears. It doesn't in the pastel.
Okay, third thing. This is very bright light, which is accentuating the light on the lobe of the ear on our left, but I'd knock that down a value or two.
Very beautiful work, as everything you show here is. Well done.
P.S. I am, however, looking forward to the addition of the dinosaur.
