Janet,
I have to agree with the above comments and add the following:
1) This is a beautiful young woman with soft and smooth skin. The transitions in values must be subtle to maintain that soft smooth look.
2) Large value transitions are aging. Consider the models upper left cheek/upper lip crease, the transition should be in a narrower value range. The same holds true for the models right hand.
3) Careful use of color temperature shifts can accomplish your modeling goals without a value change. I notice you are using more temperature changes in your portraits. Good! You are making nice progress.
While I believe the portrait is salvageable, I agree with Alexandra that a redo is recommended. A future side by side comparison would be very instructive.
Keep up the good work. An accomplished painter is beginning to emerge.
