Hi Everyone, thanks for your opinions. I feel grateful to be among artists that are well-rounded and can see the benefit of impression.
It is technically traditional art.
Plus, if it matters, Renoir used black.
And he was a tonal painter.
There is a difference of course in his work compared to Rembrandt but he
has been compared to Rubens as a young man working in a porcelain factory.
Renoir's darks are thin and lights thick.
His technique was to work dark to light.
As fars as his use of reds, he is said to say, "
I want my reds to sing out
like a bell. If it doesn't, I add reds and other colors until I get there."
I think her bonnet sings pretty loud. It reminds me of Vermeer's
Red Hat.
The guy is Renoir's brother. I wonder why he turned his face.
It surely creates a story hence a mood of subjection by the lady.
Renior is closer to Leonardo too,
Renior said,
"You come before nature with theories:
Nature throws them to the ground."
It is interesting the white dress.
An arrow to the red singing bell!
Bravo Anita. You picked that out beautifully.
I suspect much of this mood owes to a camera. Take a look and the position of the man's left foot. Then bring your eye up his leg. There is a pronounced twist because he did not properly shade the bend around of the leg. Did not correct the photo distortion. Tsk, tsk. 
Also he ingnored aerial perspective (or had no idea what it was all about) and the dance floor has no depth recession. The dancers will slip right out the bottom of the frame if you stare at it for a while. Tsk, tsk.
