Leslie, it's looking great!
Are you up to more nit picking? The highlight on her hair on the forehead is great. The only place that still looks a bit flat in the hair is on the side of the head. Again based on what I am seeing on the monitor just check and make sure that there is a subtle value change going on before it gets real dark. If the greyisch looking strand of hair on the top of her head is a value 4, scumble a bit of value 3 or 2 a bit further down before going to value 1 Burnt Umber. You might already have it there, it's just that I don't see it on my monitor.
The only thing that sticks out, is her left upper lip.The very top needs to be more neutral (by a millimeter) and the very bottom a tad darker and greyed down as well. Get rid of that line that seem to seperate the left side from the right side of the upper lip.
Your head has great form and the value changes are nicely done. Overall for future reference, lesson the degree of sharp lines. I make the same mistake and have to constanly remind myself that there are very few areas that actually show up as a line in a painting.
This painting has turned out very nice and shows a world of improvement over your last work. I hope that Marvin's pallette was as easy to work with as I promised. I think you will agree that there are no more blotchy areas, but subtle value changes!
Congratulations, you did a great job!
