He paused and turned to look at her.  His gaze focused on her expression and the struture of her face bones.  He was better with his brush, pen, or charcoal than explaining what he saw.  He shrugged and gave his best. 

"Yu hold yur expression as if yu look at the world apart, 'holding yourself separate from the world around yu.  Nae, more like a shield yu have but invisible.  It makes the structure of yur face not bonny in the traditional typical way, but bonny in a way of its own.  Not cold exactly but nae engaged or nae wanting tae be engaged."

"Yu have an expression in yur eyes.  It shows there is more happening than the physical expression is allowing people to see.  But when I look at yur eyes, there is a lot going on.  Yu nae miss things, I am thinking.  Nae happy things, I am thinking. Or maybe disappointed?  That is the mystery that draws tae me, I am thinking.  What is it that yu see that causes yu tae gaze oot at the world like that?"

"Its that look that should be captured in a drawing or a painting."  He frowned, his intense eyes looking away of her face finally and turning back to his canvas.
