Hi Steven,

I like the moody atmosphere. I have a little suggestion but see for yourself what you do with it. The sax is a metal instrument, you can use the dark overall tone of the painting to make the sax extra shiny (is that proper english?, I'm sorry, it's not my native language).

To paint metal more convincingly the old masters used to make the parts around that metal darker, so it glowed in the dark. Perhaps you can do something like that in this work? Just a suggestion.

Greetings,
Peter
