I really really love the style of this! And just out of curiosity because I just recently tried doing drips for the first time, how do you do them? I mean, I thought if i added tons of water, they'd just go right down the page...but i ended up just using my brush to paint them in and then add more water and paint.

You have really pastel, soft colors that give a spring or summer type of feeling. I feel your main colors are the green and blue which are cool and give the spring feeling and then the warm pink, yellow, red and peach colors for a little more of the summer, or hot feeling. This painting, to me, is sort of symbolizing how Spring turns into Summer.
Your use of shape in this piece is really attractive. The triangles at the top create a pattern to the composition which is appealing to the eye. It makes the viewer look at the top first. The dripping paint lines are a clever affect, leading the viewer's eye from the top down to the face, and then all the way to the bottom of the painting. This way you force the eye to start at the top and work its way down to the bottom to see the whole canvas.
Even though you have asymmetrical balance with the flowers on the left side and only white negative space on the right, the piece still has a balanced feel. The way the chin of the face is tilted slightly to the right helps even out the composition a little bit.
The face is very simplistic. You add some shadows and highlights but not very much, just enough so we know it's a face. You only add in minimal detail and have only put in the most important defining features, such as the mouth, jaw line, eyes, and nose. However, even though your detail is limited you have created the facial features so they look very feminine.
This painting has been really well executed. You have a lovely composition, colors that evoke emotions and ideas, simple elements that lead the viewer throughout the whole painting, all with minimalistic detail.

It's so bright and minimalistic yet the overall look (and as a thumb) it looks beautiful.
I think there's something odd acout the nose bridge, though..
