I didn’t notice until after I’d begun painting this one that her eyes were so close together.  I snapped a photo and took it into Photoshop and moved the eyes farther apart.  That probably made her more esthetically pleasing to some, but there was a reason for her eyes the way I did them.  Our eyes are our windows, providing our perspective of the physical world.  I’ve painted them close together and a bit skewed so she can examine closely and see from all sides.  Now I’m off to meditate to find the symbols to include in her palms.
