Very nice painting. I would reconsider the following. The way her right hand covers her left makes the left hand fingers look cut off. I think the couch behind her head is too light and I don't understand the color patches. I would darken it and downplay the contrast. The edge of the couch arm to her left is too sharp. You need to give more thought to background value and color when composing the painting. Good luck.
