It's pretty good. I'm personally more of a landscape-or-surrealist person, but this is a fairly good portrait. With more practice in that style (you did say this was new, don't take it the wrong way) it could be much better. But, if this is your first foray into a particular style of painting then good work.
It looks really (Really) nice, but what on God's Earth is up with her face? It's slightly more sharp and a Kitchen Knife, nad She looks rather Masculine. Jus' my point of view.
No offense, but the "style" only really seems to come across as "stretched the natural proportions a bit wide." It looks badly proportioned, not stylized.
The face seems slightly off, but otherwise it's a good portrait. Keep practicing and hopefully you'll get faces perfectly.
It's also nice to see some art which isn't annoyingly abstract. I've been to the tate modern in London and it was an interesting although slightly underwhelming experience. I remember seeing some huge sharp metallic sculpture there, and putting my mind to it i interpreted it as meaning something along the lines of the evils of machinery or modernity- or how modern technology de-humanises human beings. When i read the placard, i was surprised and disappointed to find that it actually symbolised rain.
I find the artwork in old stately homes much more impressive, i much prefer the artwork produced between circa 1500-1900. In the 20th century it all went down hill in my view.
Why don't you get artwork like this these days?

As others have said the only thing I can really criticize is the face but then again you said it was stylized so that just might be why. Still I am not an artist so I can't say much but I think it is fairly good anyway.
I think it's good, but I, personally, am not a huge fan of this type of art.
But, I do have to say, it's very, very good.

Find some life drawing classes in your area; you learn so much more about the human form from a naked chick sitting in the middle of the room than a picture. You have an obvious level of comfort with the way you paint by the consistency, though; its excellent that you have that part of the process established.
