Deborah, can you post the reference photo(s) you used? That will help everyone give you a more useful critique.

Also, you may need to rephotograph the painting itself, with more even lighting, and repost it. It looks as if the light is very concentrated in the face area and everything else on the canvas is out of the light. Photographing paintings in daylight is also important. This looks like it was photographed with a small incandescent light instead.
