Flamenco

So this is my flamenco dancer, roughed in. Although I think her face and arms need some work regardless, I am trying to divorce myself from the idea that every painting has to have photographic detail, and as I look at this I am wondering how it would have gone if I had done this with a knife. Not that I can't still do that. I am quite pleased with even the rough on her dress, though.

So, What do you think? Should I make this a typically (for me) detailed painting, paint in her features carefully (and fix her arms and hands), or should I let it be an impressionist kind of "gesture" painting with a palette knife when I get to layer two?  I think I'm leaning toward the latter.
