Lisa, first of all I want to say that this is an excellent piece and I would be thrilled to have painted it. Secondly, the fact that so many good artists are going over it with a fine-tooth comb means that you are grabbing people by the lapels with it. (I love reading these comments, they are all so interesting and useful.)
Can I add a nitpick? I would take out the horizontal crease in her neck. This is the sort of "detail" I personally leave out when I paint attractive people, especially women. This is a taste issue, not a "likeness" issue. (I find people to be either attractive or interesting, and almost always, both. I try to make them attractive, but if it's hopeless, then I make them interesting.)
You are amazingly prolific, Lisa!
