Her eyes give her away. Don't they? Being envious of what we perceive others have, that we don't, can be such a conditioned illusion. In one sense we all have exactly what we need. Bit hard to generalize about jealousy ~ But I guess basically it seems to arise from the feelings associated with not being worthy and not being content with who we are ~ Or becoming. I liked the way the violet adds to the form of her face in the final stage of the painting. A touch of green could have symbolically accentuated the idea of jealousy maybe ~ Green eyes? And yet green is the colour of the heart ~ So I wonder why green is associated with jealousy. Just musing. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

I've had a talk with my friends about negative emotions. It feels kinda funny to me that most people would deny ever feeling these emotions as if they're incapable of feeling negative, and the ones who actually accept and own their feelings, both good and bad, are the more rounded and reasonable ones. Not really sure if it's applicable world wide or just within my circle of friends though.
                             
As for green, I associate it with the colour of greed and nature. I usually pick colours aesthetically than logically, but I do remember that I want to give this picture a cold feeling.      
                             
Thank you Ally :).
