Eloquence of the Eye

Recreation in oil painting of "The Afghan Girl" by Steve McCurry
My largest piece painted in High School. Original piece was exhibited in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, Mexico and sold. My purpose was to try something bigger and for the first time to get closer to the details. The look in this photo touched me deeply in my heart, and it felt expressively enough for me to want to turn it into a painting.
