Kanhaji's eyes

There is a popular song from the movie Lagaan titled 'Radha Kaise Na Jale' and in the song she talks about His eyes and how the gopis are enchanted by them. It occurred to me when I listened to that song again that I never saw pictures really focus on His eyes. I suppose that is hard to do when you are painting. However, His expressions, which are certainly linked to His eyes, are portrayed very well indeed on occasion. Kanhaji's expressions convey so much - anger at those who have committed evil, Love for those who are His true devotees, mischief when He is stealing butter and playing with His friends. No wonder Radha said that His eyes were what enchanted the gopis. Each of these pictures shows a different expression - love for Radharani, love for His mother, love for Us. Jai Shri Krishna!
