Chris and Alexandra,
Thank you so much for your critiques. I will work on the things that you have both pointed out.
This is how I check the gaze direction - I cover one eye on the painting and move to different angles to spot the direction of the uncovered eye. If the gaze follows me no matter what position I take, then I know I have the gaze looking at the viewer. I then do the same with the other eye.
In this case, it appears to me that both eyes look slightly to the viewer's right. But if that is not what you are seeing, Alexandra, then I wonder what I might do to correct this.
Is there a better way to check gaze direction than the one I mentioned?
