Beautiful start Patty!

Quick first impression is that values in the painting are on the light side. Her hair, eyes & the shadows on her face (& the flower) are deeper in the reference... Overall her face in the reference reads more narrow than the painting -- guessing thats because the paler shadows flatten/broaden her face a bit.

You might also want to check the shape of her eyes (to me they seem to scoop down more towards the outside corner at the bottom) and the base of her nose seems more level to me in the reference whereas it's canted upwards towards the left in the painting.

Small details... and a very promising beginning! This will be one to feature in your portfolio I bet!
