Symmetry


After letting the painting sit I went in and started adding highlights. I don't think there is really any special order to go about things but it seemed sensible. This is when I realized that her eyes were way off. I am not one to sit around and study my paintings to see what is wrong. I usually just wait until it hits me in the face. I had some left over mud on my palette and moved the eye over. It was at this point that I realized that Sarah Palin's face has perfect symmetry. Each side is exactly like the other.

The drawing at this point is by no means perfect but oddly enough I feel like this painting is going in the right direction. It is still open and I can make more changes as I go.
