Clive, I was recently, while painting, chatting to one of my tutors about colour temperature: I was saying that, since shadows are very often warm, then I would try and introduce some cool colours in the lights to define the form better.
What he said ( I felt all my art book knowledge crumbling ) was that this does not always work, and that to have cools in a face might give it an ill look, and that sometimes warm and warmer is enough.
I think this is a very good example of such a choice of colours, and it depicts coherently a certain light situation.
Very interesting work
