Paint Study for St. Lucy Project

I painted this a few months ago, as part of the portfolio I was preparing for my application to the course in Sacred Art and Craft in Florence I am currently enrolled in.  I consider it a "rough draft" for a more finished painting I hope to do sometime.  This study gives me a better idea about how the colors (and other elements) I was thinking about work together as a whole. 

 

 

The photo quality is pretty blurry, but seeing as how it's not a finished painting and is painted pretty crudely I suppose that's acceptable. Any constructive feedback?
