Hi again Lisa,

No, in this case her eyes are so enlarged by the lenses that it is very distracting. There is some major problem with her eyes. So, we decided to downplay that feature per the parents wishes. I'm glad your were able to discuss it with the parents because they are the most important part of this crazy puzzle. There is some imaginary line that we need to find in every commission, how many lines do you magically erase. How many chins disappear (I lost one when I did my own portrait)! And when do we say enough is enough.

Jean
