Rob,

Your nickel's worth is GREATLY appreciated. It does help clarify things for me.

Let me share something with you about where the idea for this painting came from. My daughter was studying Greek Mythology in school. She told me the myth of where the peacock feather got it's eyes from. They are, according to the myth, eyes. So I thought it would be fun (maybe a little on the sassy side) to have them looking at the nude woman. All of these eyes, including ours, are all on Stacy.

But, if you find them distracting I should bring them down a bit. I don't want to take away from her.

Thanks again for your in put. I will be applying what you mentioned and I think it will help a great deal.

I confess, in posting this I also needed some reassurance that people liked it in order for me to continue with it. I'm not sure why I needed that, I know it should be enough that I liked the idea. I must be having an insecure moment and in need of a boost.
