I know it's skewed, because I didn't manipulate the image properly, but notice the difference if you change her eye expression to look like this, for instance.

Here's what the painting would look like if her right eye was the same as the left:

I guess that the fact that the girl seems to be so suspicious about her mother just enhances this "evil" illusion too. And how the mother smiles, too. Maybe if her smile goes away, her expression will change to a more "neutral" expression.

Wow! That makes a big difference.

I need to start working on this one again, it's buried somewhere in my garage.

This one has been in the garage for a while. I was trying to fix the faces and will probably need another layer. I'll work on the bottom of the painting tomorrow

I used Ivory black and zinc white for this layer. 1:1 turps and refined linseed oil.

Oh, and I kind of winged the grisaille from memory... and made some up

Yes it is very interesting indeed.
