The first eye was made in June of 2020. It is titled "The First Eye" because it was the first eye I had succesfully painted. I have a fascination with eyes. They say it is the window to the soul. I loved looking at the intricate patterns of the iris and it is currently my favorite part of the painting process to create the eyes for the characters. This piece was inspired by that attraction to the eye. In the art world it is common knowledge that colors you don't normally see anywhere else in the piece are mixed into the eye. It's such a beautiful thing. I had just learnt different techniques for painting, and I thought what else to practice these new techniques on than a painting of an eye.
