Hi Alex,

I feel like apologizing or something. I should know this stuff already. You're giving all this amazing, world-class advice and I'm the dumb kid holding up everyone else. Phooey. It doesn't help that summer is well and truly over. That's depressing enough on its own. However, life and painting go on. The architecture will be addressed tomorrow and in the meantime, those eyes. Following are shots of the ref pic, the painting and another pic in which my squinty honey tried his best to keep his eyes open. I started by drawing one straight line (on the ref pic) from outer corner to outer corner; duplicated it twice, once for the tear duct thing you mentioned, once for an approximation of the upper eyelid. Then I duplicated these three lines without changing them (except for rotating all of them the same for the last pic). What am I missing? If it helps, Derek pointed out over my shoulder that he has one high beam and one low beam.

Thanks for all your valuable time. I owe you. Janet
