Haitian Girl and Piercing Eyes



I was upset for a few days after I saw this little girls' image on the home page of NYTIMES, which inspired me to paint her face. She is so beautiful and the look in her eyes brought tears to mine. I wonder what is her name and how she is doing now..was that her mother holding her hand?

I incorporated the colors of Haiti's flag into the painting as well as the feel of the earthquake. What do you think? (keep in mind this was only my 4th oil on canvas ever...without formal training)
