I am so taken by these eyes that I wonder if I'll ever get tired of them. Of course I will, but think what they have to offer: lots of color, reflections, subtleties, and drama. Today I started from a darkly stained panel. I thought I might have really set myself up for failure. I usually start with a mid-toned canvas or panel so this was intimidating. What this did was set the tone for the finished painting. Although this really wasn't a terribly dark photo source, the outcome is very Rembrandt-like, dark and moody. I hope you enjoy it.
