Do you think a pure "cool" color may have worked in my portrait, perhaps a very high key blue?
When you toss in really pure bright color, you need to do it sparingly. Since your reds elsewhere are already intense, I doubt that you can get away with it in this particular painting. You would have to experiment with it to see. I simply wanted to make this suggestion for future reference, since you obviously have some interest and skill in the use of color.
