I love the way you've done the eyes. There's warmth and kindness there. Also, is it just me or does she look like she's right on the edge of laughter? I get the feeling this is a woman who smiled a lot.

IDt8R, Mom had a great smile but seldom would you hear her laugh, she was a vary serious type person who had a hard life but was a very kind and caring person.
I like this. It has a very modern/impressionistic feel to it. One minor thing I would change would be the bright green in the upper right hand corner. I think if you changed it to the lighter green found in the lower right corner, the focus would remain on the eyes and mouth of your subject and not dragged away to the corner. As always, this is a suggestion and if you like it this way, then that's the way you should keep it.
