This photo is actually brighter than the painting -- so my color adjustments in Photoshop are a bit errant. Painted from a live model, who kept moving ... also she was wearing glasses so I took them off while painting and then couldn't see what I was doing at all (haha). Thus the looser style. I wasn't quite finished, but had to leave the studio ... so didn't get a chance to double check the values. I'm now noticing that my lights all seem to be the same level where in actuality they are a bit more varied (especially the tone on the upper bridge of the nose). Will tweak it today, but wanted to get something posted for now.

You don't need to tweak it for me. I think it looks great.
