I don't like to look at it. It's an awesome piece of art but it is just too sad and you have made it project the emotion so strongly that I can't help but feel bad looking at the total grief of the little girl.
I can understand that, it was indeed the effect I was aiming for. I must admit that I too found myself subconsciously grimacing and feeling sorry for her whenever I worked on her face - it was really quite interesting. We humans are finely tuned to react and read faces due to our heritage as flock animals. Observing strong emotions like this kicks off all sorts of warning bells in our heads.
I listened to Clint Mansell's
Lux Aeterna (from
Requiem for a Dream) when painting this. Fits scarily well.
