Sky ladies

Critique.
It's a strange sepia face with what could be read as floaty, cloud like hair.It's a little haunting but is keeping my attention.
These are half hour paintings , so to increase my chances of rendering the face in a half hour, I have painted the background in blended acrylic in pastel colours.
I like the cloud like hair which was done very simply with oil pastel, melted with liquin medium.I don't mind the face - I can accept them more knowing they are half hour paintings.
What could I do to improve - paint more, put text on, put more than one face on, try putting more colour in the face.
What words come to mind when I look at the painting ? Sky, cloud, pleasure, thoughtful,space.
