I want your advice!

I have taken an old sketch painting and have expanded on it. I needed a canvas and didn't want to buy a new one, so I used this old painting as a starting off point. I need some advice on how to go forward. What looks strange? Should I leave some of the sketchy underpainting showing? What do you all think?

Art Nouveau?

This is the progression of a painting that I have been working on. I am especially concerned with the style of the painting. I wanted it to have an art nouveau feel. Her expression and hairdo have been the most dramatic changes since the beginning. I am not quite finished yet, but will post the finished product soon!
