Thomasin,
I feel the same way about this piece as I do about your other painting, Figure in Motion. It's intriguing that, in both, you have avoided articulating the eyes, yet they are there--something that many artists would not even want to try. It's interesting that we often say the eyes are the "windows of the soul" and yet there is so much soul in these paintings. This raises the question: are the eyes really the windows of the soul, or can soul be expressed in other ways? Or could the eyes express soul when they are barely suggested in paint, rather than rendered in detail? I think the answer t both questions may be "yes."
