Jeanine, this portrait is really alive. It looks like you attacked the canvas. She must have a very strong personality! I like how vibrant it is.

Please keep in mind that I am not qualified to critique, as I consider myself a beginner, but I will mention one thing that I find distracting. The large purple expanse of her dress is so strong that I feel it detracts from her impressive face. When I stand back from the monitor, I see the purple first. As to how to change it, I am at a loss. Let's see how others feel, before you make any major changes.

I like the energy in this painting!

Jean
