Julie, this looks promising. I like the light. She looks more three-dimensional. Because the color key has changed, it might be a good idea to post the entire painting, too, so we can see where you are headed, even if you've only worked on the head.

Is the light on her face cool because she is watching TV? That actually might be interesting in terms of the color scheme (i.e. can you convey this to the viewer without showing the TV screen?) But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm just saying that, if the light actually is cool, it could be used in the theme of the portrait, to your advantage. Of course if the light is not as cool as it looks in your photo, forget what I just said. This is not the only solution, obviously, and you may have something else in mind.

P.S. sorry, I didn't see you had posted the whole painting. I think it works and I like the highlight.
