Digital Editing of Traditional Painting

As a member of the Children's Illustration LinkedIn forum, I received a question regarding the integrity of using digital tools to edit traditional paintings.  Though I love traditional art, I am not a puritan.  I'm in favor of using anything you deem necessary to get the work done, and get it done right.

A while ago, I painted a portrait, and thanks to the sharp eyes of David, it was pointed out to me that I made a serious error regarding the subjects eyes.

Having painted this portrait when I had a fever, I felt that there was something not quite right with it, but did not see my error until that moment.

Today, I hopefully rectified that mistake, using a digital editing program.

Thank you digital technology!
