"The eye is the window to the soul," people say. Well, the eye has always facinated me: The way it looks, the structure of it, as well as its function. It takes in light as well as reflects light. Without them, art becomes pointless, in my eyes. (Pun intended)
I loved being able to play around with the iris color. It seems no one has just one eye color but a bunch all fused together. So I incorporated blues, greens, and yellows. I am blue-eyed myself so that is what I dominated with (not that I have anything against Brown eyes, I love them too!)
I find the most challenging part of painting eyes is getting the two eyes to match, so painting just one here avoided the hard part.
This project is very similar to the last time I painted a 4x4 square with one eye a couple of years ago, except this one is much bigger (11x14).
