Eye of Heaven

A painting features a dark central circle with a glowing, textured spot in the middle, resembling the Eye of Heaven, surrounded by vibrant streaks of blue, green, and orange radiating outward. The colorful patterns give a sense of energy and movement contrasting with the dark core.

If you ever look at a human eye up close, it’s one of the most beautiful natural creations. I was thinking of this when I started this project.  At the same time, I wanted to create the impression of what one would see looking up at the moon.  The moon here represents the reflection of natural light in the eyes, where the forest is the myriad of colors that make up the rest.  It’s also a reflection on life, eternity, and the wonder of natural things.

Mixed Media (really because of the pumice I used to make the moon (it’s somewhat 3-D) on canvas, 11 x 14, and already sold.
