In this painting Session I worked a bit more with the lighting and form of the eye and skin surrounding it. Next I noticed an issue with the message of the image because the 'S' Hand shape in the middle was blocking the pupil. The pupil is the window to the soul and and important in establishing a connection with the viewer. After shifting the hands around in a more pleasing way, I began fleshing out the 'A' hand. When painting, important principles such as lighting, proportion, and meaning can be a useful tools in critiquing the work you are doing. These ideas are similar to the medieval ideas of using light, proportion, and allegory to create art that alludes to God's perfection.
