DJ, you are getting very close to what I see as a breakthrough - more fully realised compositions, etc.
What I would really LOVE to see - is you piling on the paint, so much so that you completely obliterate the weave of your canvas.
I think your scrubby look is appealing - for watercolor. For oil, this look is not taking advantage of the medium.
Then, once you pile on the paint, you can really concentrate on your edges. Right now, most of them are treated equally. You have the occasional soft edge here and there, but you could really push that.
And finally, modify your photo to your advantage - for example, you have two tangent lines that form from the mountains in the back across her shoulders. Those are easy fixes.
More paint!
