Thanks everyone, I wasnt sure I would end up posting it.
After v.1, to my horror, I realized she looked like she was taking a permanent nap in a coffin. A little more color in the face helped I think.

dang, I thought I commented on this yesterday. Very nice work and she's adorable. The additional color in the face helped tons, now she looks like she's napping during a long car ride.
Very nicely done! I do agree with Axil, but I also like the way you did it...made it so the attention was on her face, not on her hair. But what am I saying, ten times better then what I can do! Excellent :)
No, not the style. It's not "bad" it's just not the same quality as the face... top notch. However, that could be a good thing too, it frames that face nicely without detracting from it.
It's so effective to leave the hair and dress less detailed. One of my favourite painting styles--a mixture of impressionism and realism. When it works, as this does, I think there is no painting style more beautiful. Looking at these purples and orange/golds together is a sensory treat.
