   I have no critiques, really. I like her eyes muchly. And is that fur around her wrist? It looks so soft and poofy...

    Yo Bill, cool classically oriented style going. Love the Oil on Canvas look of the last digi.
    You need to keep the sharpest detail on the focul of your subject, you have a little bit of a tendency to throw more detail on on the surrounding facial features than you do the eyes, which is a portrait nono.
    Once you get your silhouette and lighting down, work in the details from the eyes outward to the rest of the face, that ought to give your subject the punch it needs where it needs it.
