Intense stare

Info: Found this piece unfinished from a couple months ago and decided to finally finish it.  This is entered in my local town's homedays.  Last year a painting of a bowl of fruit won....which looked so utterly boring.  I don't think mine will win because the judges have much different opinions than mine, but either way I'm glad how it turned out.  The background looks very sketchy here, but I think it looks more blended in person.  **EDIT: It won people's choice award!**
