Steven,
I think you did a great job on your son's portrait. It is beautiful. I just enjoy reading what you have to say and how you say (write) it.
I would leave the sax as is and maybe lighten the left eye as Karin suggests but only a tad. Even if you didn't, it doesn't bother me. I think painting the people you see everyday can be particularly difficult.
Do you think you caught his likeness? He is a handsome boy if you did. He must be fighting off the girls. I still see some pink cheeks!
I like the way you used the red and green. The green has enough earth tones in it so I am not reminded of Christmas colors. They work well together.
You should be pleased with this especially if you caught his likeness. What size is it?
