Out of the blue I got this idea to create a series of spreads by selecting images of women, but with each one I would alter their eyes to create their mood, and then paint the backgrounds to suit. I've titled this series "Windows to the Soul". I have all kinds of pictures selected, as I plan on creating a lot of spreads using female images, at least until I get tired of it! lol
These three spreads are what I've completed so far.
The top spread is titled "Forest Maiden". In it I tried to give the woman an innocent doe-like look with the eyes I used for her. The middle spread "Lonesome Christmas", is of a woman alone in her castle on Christmas Eve awaiting the arrival of her love...but he is very late, and she's not looking too impressed about it!
And lastly, the bottom spread, titled "The Secret", is about a woman, and quite the actress too BTW, that leads a very secret life!
Well, now I am off to finish more spreads that I've already got in the works! Such fun! :)

Vale, this is a very interesting series. I certainly hope you keep us posted. Your women are intriguing and I love the quotes you're using.

Really like what you are doing. I will certainly look at pictures a little differently now, separating out "parts". Back in the mid 70's I did a collage of nothing but eyes I had cut out of magazines all lined up. Unfortunately, time and moving lost those and a couple of other collages, but I still remember those eyes.
Oh these are amazing!!! I esp like the 1st one!!! the colors are my fav!! very fun idea and great artwork!!! Hugs Linda
