Cool painting. :) Not sure about the desat, like other commenters, but hey, do you like it? If so, 'nuff said.

as personal opinion, the photo is very delicate. I think that the breast should be hidden for more imagination

I don't get the purpose of the cloth, but a neat idea.

Lovely colors. I wish the whole thing was in color though, and that her whole head was in the pic.

A nude woman who likes to paint (and is doing a good job) = artistic nude? The overall effect is a bit soft, which works for the subject, I suppose, but the desaturation seems a bit harsh in contrast to that, and a bit contrived.

Interesting take. I'm a little confused by the selective desat though. It doesn't add anything to the shot, at least to my eye. It especially looks odd where her fingers come through the palette. I think your focus is off too. It doesn't come across as soft focus because the easel leg between the palette and the painting looks sharp but nothing else does. Great idea. If you can reshoot it I would love to see it...

Quite nice - though I'm not that crazy about the partial desat. But 6 anyway...
