I love your illustration. I don't think that's a flaw, I think it's character! :) Kate Bosworth the actress has one blue and one green eye :)

Candace Trew Camling said...

Stunning! Just love the combination of the softness in her expression against the drama of her eyes and the texture you achieved in the background is beautiful. Just a wonderful piece. Thanks for sharing.

Ok, maybe they're not Betty Davis eyes, but it's much cooler to have David Bowie eyes, dontcha think? How marvelous, Kathy! The softness in colors contrasted with the vibrant eyes...WOW!

It is amazing how different eye colors can really change someone, each side of her face looks so different. This is quite lovely and the writing, a perfect mate.
