The Eye - part 2



(Name suggestions for this piece of art are welcomed)

This is the 2nd eye I drew... I did this with a 6b pencil.
If you look closely into the iris... you'll see something I attempted to add on. Let me know if you can see it....
Its the theme of oldage, death and fear. Posted by Picasa

I would title this "the critical eye..." fantastic and thought evoking work as usual. Reminds me of a stare I have seen many times as I am being assessed... and all that with one eye.

Thanks Benko. The Critical Eye huh... hmmmmmm... I'd be freaked out to get a stare like that, come to think of it.

You certainly have the talent and the eye for art. I like the theme since death can cause great fear. But death isn’t the greatest fear, but it’s the fear of loneliness and suffering. Death, that‘s always the easy part.

An eye without hope is an eye that welcomes death. Hope is the expectation that life will live up to its silent promises. The eye lives not only for hope or in hope, but to give hope. That is what I see in this eye - A window of hope.

A defiance of death... what's in the iris is a skull... of u look closely u'll see. Death is the easiest part... maybe its the dawn after years of suffering.

Thanks for that blog worthy comment aka - all ur comments are little blog entries in themselves.

Yuh know.... if we add a tinge of green to that eye... I'll say it looks a lot like HULK

when i firt saw the eye, it reminded me of Gollum's.
