It's beautiful and you're doing a great job making it look like an oil painting. I still love being able to see the individual strokes, even if they are finer.
I think you can give it a tad more dimensionality by kicking up the highlights juuuuuust a bit. But then, that's my preference, too. If you were inclined to do it, try it as a separate file and compare them side by side.
I love the eyes. Oh man, I am so in love with the eyes. Hooded, avoidant glances in portraits seem so teasing and sultry. She's such a cat! Admire me, but I don't have to look at you~<3
