Jose--
I assume you are referring to your painting of Leon Gieco (I keep reading that he's "El <<Bob Dylan>> argentino", which is interesting because the instant I saw that harmonica I thought of Dylan).
The Gieco work is also rendered extraordinarily well, and I especially note in there a couple of the things I suggested working toward in this piece, namely, warmer flesh tones and more intense highlights. I realize that the lighting on the two subjects is dramatically different, but just to reiterate, I think this "Big Smile" piece could use a little warmth, not necessary in the entire flesh area, but just some counterpoint to the otherwise cool tone of the painting.
Just as an aside, you might give some thought to loosening up your style a little bit in paintings such as the Gieco piece, where a photorealistic "point in time" may not in fact capture the fluidity and dynamic quality of a live musical performance, with its inherent auditory and visual "movement". My own work is quite tightly executed and I'm trying to learn to relax a little and allow some reflection and spontaneous response into it, trying to "see" more than the visual data that can be accumulated by studying still-frame resource materials. Just something to consider.
Cheers,
Steven
