In this painting, Carolyn Anderson places her subject’s hands around that spot too.
J.M.W. Turner uses the angle of his waves to create an arch that circles through the lower right and lower left eyes.
Notice that the focus of the scene is then captured within all four eyes, too.
How you use the golden ratio or these “eyes” to direct a viewers’ visual path is limited only by your imagination. Try using the eyes of the rectangle in your next painting and see what difference it can make in the strength of your composition.
