Hi Debra,
It's always awkward when a work doesn't meet with enthusiasm.
I think the primary thing the recipient is looking for in a portrait, especially a posthumous one, is a good likeness. If the reaction was negative, that would actually be the first thing to reconsider.
You might look at sample portraits on the SOG commercial part of this web site, and compare your work to similar subjects, noting the differences in color and composition.
Best wishes as you progress in portraiture.
