Alex, thank-you again for your interesting comments. In this picture, and in others I have done, I find the eyes incongruous with rest of the figure, but the shape of the bone and the shadows around the eye sockets very compatible, so it is always a struggle to try and get something that works (and not end up with something odd or ghoulish) and that does suggest the eyes without illustrating them. What I feel I end up with is the expression and the form without describing the eyes themselves. It's not what I want completely - but I as yet don't know what that is.
