Simplification is the game with art. And I wanted to do something with more detail than I normally include. Looks like a real face.

Thank you, I’m happy with them too. The little details to make them look realistic I don’t think before painting I ever noticed. The little light but at the top of lips, the inside rim of eye lids, etc.
I’m nearing 50 and feel like until I started trying to be a better artist I’ve never really seen a face before.
Having the artist eye is a really nice skill to have, I found it adds beauty to everyday life. The way a cloud shape blends into the blue sky, the way a person’s hair flows in the wind as they walk, how a dew covered leaf glimmers in the sun. It adds a layer of happiness to a dreary world.
Totally agree!
