something to do with the 3-D effect!
Indeed, that is the effect

Why do the eyes in paintings seem to follow you sometimes?

<<Modern artists have a command of linear perspective, and they use the interplay of light and shadow to create paintings that look almost as if they're alive [e.g., 3D]. But it's impossible to get past the fact that the medium in which a painter works exists in only two dimensions. Ultimately all depth created through perspective and light and shadow is a trick, an optical illusion, and this illusion gives rise to other illusions -- including eyes in a painting following you.
Essentially, what is going on is that the light, shadow and perspective depicted in a painting are fixed, meaning they don't shift. Remember when your friend stared forward and you walked from side to side? His or her eyes didn't follow you because the light and shadow, as well as perspective you see, actually change.
Since the elements of perspective and light and shadow are fixed in a painting and don't change, they look pretty much the same no matter from what angle you look at it [source: Guardian].>>
Makes sense! I thought that eyes following was a part of creepy movies!
