I meant that the pants feel out of place compared to the entire mood of the painting. You have this beautiful piano and sheet music, showing the flow and how much we're in this moment. The guy is leaning and concentrating, but he's also content and just in the flow. The softness of the painting and strokes really show a lot of emotion and a very specific moment in time.
Then you have the pants. This painting is already ignoring normal physics/laws with the pages flowing everywhere, this anthropomorphic animal-guy that is blue, and there being no concrete background. The pants are these tan khakis, with a belt in every loop hole, pockets and all. It comes off as being snapped back to reality. This piano player still has to wear business pants while he plays piano, but no shirt is needed still. This could be a memory of something that actually happened, but it is still so specific of no shirt, but wearing belted khakis.
He doesn't have to be necessarily naked per se, but it felt unnecessary. Naked could work, doesn't mean you have to include a sheath or dick w/e, or maybe a matching top like a suit or button-top. Or show him not sitting, maybe floating.
There's really good color balance in the entire painting, with blues showing clearly against the browns and whites, but those pants draw attention to themselves being brown. They almost feel like a sore thumb.
The entire thing is done extremely-well. This is just more a subjective view from myself and critiquing the actual mood of it. Just my own thoughts I guess, I don't normally think much of this stuff. I'm definitely coming off a bit artsy-fartsy. I wanted to say more than just maybe "wow!", because this painting is top-quality otherwise and deserves such much more.
