Hi everyone,
Call me a slow painter - but I got carried away doing this picture, it took me some time to get the head right, and I think I needs even more ...
Here goes. Crit and comment away.

the composition is unbalanced. Overall it's a nice abstract piece, but the left side of the piece is heavy because it's representational, and has those straight lines. Perhaps if you brought some straights into the lower right it might balance the piece.
I like the colors a lot.

It's a little inconsistent at this stage--the hard lines around the background don't match the looser painting in the foreground. I think if you tighten it up a little, and maybe experiment with some more interesting flesh tones (preferably some that echo the background), you'll get a much more coherent result.
