When it came to painting depictions of people, Sydna's strength was creating the subject's eyes. This is no exception. The man's eyes are very warm, and fairly deep in thought, with the power of wisdom behind them. It's an amazing accomplishment in this work. And, at first glance, you think the subject's eyes are black. But, after greater inspection, you realize his eyes are an incredible deep blue.
