The free photo I used to create this painting captured my attention. Not only is this young girl physically beautiful, she is also mysterious.
What’s going through her mind? Is she scared, anxious, or simply lost in thought?
When I asked my friends to help me title this painting, they recommended several similar words: pensive, wary, forlorn, uncertain, apprehensive, contemplative, and observant. I see all these emotions in this young girl’s eyes. Perhaps, she’s thinking about her future with trepidation or is unsettled about an incident. Either way, her eyes draw you in to wonder.
