you think to see - you don't see anything

it's the presumption of being able to see, it's a beginning of blindness.

Lovely work. Whether it was your intention or not to convey the eyes as both being open and closed is uncertain but that's what I initially saw. The fading of the eyes, which is usually the prominent feature in a portrait, holds you in a subtle pull. While the expression behind the dying gaze appears to be looking at something, knowingly for the last time. The fractured colors, somber, speckled and dripping down suggest that the color of life, the vivacity of sight is falling away; and soon the page, like the fading eyes, will be blank. Lovely but fleeting, like beauty itself.

I love the colors and the minimalistic approach.

I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. If you do too and aren't afraid to admit it, copy and paste this in your signature.

This is absolutely beautiful and way better than i could ever do, but it leaves me wanting a little more detail in the eyes. That would have been perfection for me.

Don't do what you can't undo until you've considered what you can't do once you've done it.

I love the use of negative space and the paint splatter to look like freckles! You have some really creative solutions.

I feel like this some times, looking through new eyes at a world I can't quite believe.
