The eyes have it, the changes I mean. Slight corrections and clean up and intensifying. Moderate remodelling of the forehead/cheekbone-our left/bone around the left eye on the left.
I can't teach worth a peach when it comes to art. I can teach "the faith" well, at least so I am told. However, well, we'll leave it there. God bless you brother.

Watchmen
And suddenly the truth came to me, as we stood there, trembling, searching, at our point of fulcrum. There were no watching eyes. The windows were as blank as they looked. The theatre was empty. It was not a theatre. They had told her it was a theatre, and she had believed them, and I had believed her. To bring us to this - not for themselves, but for us. I turned and looked at the windows, the facade, the pompous white pedimental figures. - John Fowles, The Magus

More 'about me'.
... My idea of what I am is falsified by my preoccupation about what I do. And my illusions about myself are bred by contagion from the illusions of other men. We all seek to emulate one anothers imagined greatness....If I do not know who I am, it is because I think I am the sort of person everyone around me wants me to be. I have asked myself whether I wanted to become what everybody else seems to want to become... only to realize that I do not admire what everyone else seems to admire. I have only thus begun to live after all... But it is very late. - Adapted from a quote by Thomas Merton

I feel like the tear is more pronounced... but I know zilch about art, except that I like this.
It draws me in.

That's what I see.
Owen - Yup! You should be teaching - you got it right. I actually raised/repainted the right eye. (I have cataracts is my excuse.)
