Why
does the eye see a thing more clearly in dreams than the imagination
when awake?
~ Leonardo Da Vinci
My Answer
In Dreams we get to live in an imaginary world we build, nothing stands in the way of our inner visions of the night, our minds empty of thought and open to the time and space of our dream.
~Annabelle
Still working on eyes and will be for a while. I haven't put much thought on a name for the series since I am experimenting with an assortment of styles, realistic and imaginary.
The eye sees!
Another eye I drew and painted with water colours.
More realistic than the one from two weeks ago "Come a Little Closer".
Not sure if I will use this eye in one of the frames, just testing it out.I think I want a more beautiful eye for these particular frames.
And I finally remembered to check the mail at the post office yesterday. This is just gorgeous Sherrie aka Giggles! I love it!!!
Haha, my best friend!
Need to keep this in mind. Sometimes I let work sit there forever and forget it : )
And always remember!
Thanks a bunch Giggles! I will always cherish your quote book and keep it on my coffee table, use the bag to keep my iPad and books when I go to Chapters for my coffee and book fix : )
I'm not so sure if I will use the cards. I just might keep them for myself until the right occasion that merits them comes along.
Until later,
Annabelle

Thanks for the great post -- the quotes, the eye and the Giggles book -- all wonderful things to ponder and enjoy.
Wow! Terrific eye! I love the watercolor work. That's the medium that scares me the most.
That is SUCH a cool frame, too! I think the current eye looks great in there, but I can understand why you might not be sure, just because a frame like that would prompt anyone to second-guess what goes inside. What a great find!
LOVE your eye-project! That is such a great idea. The eye in the frame is beautiful. And lucky you to have won Giggles' wonderful quotebook! And cards, and totebag! Enjoy!
Sherries work does make me smile, it is wonderful ;)
Awe Annabelle I am so happy you got it all in one piece!! These photos you too are amazing!
I love your eyes, stunning work..a while back I attempted to do the same thing....but of my own eye....I couldn't get a good enough photo...I will revel in your eyes instead!! Beautiful job you are doing!! Keep it up...So glad you will enjoy the bag and the book!!I know my creations found a wonderful home!!
Big Hugs Giggles
Beautiful eye! Just want to say See you!
The eye painting looks amazing! Looking forward to more from your series, and such cool gifts and artwork from Giggles!
I love the eye, but not in that particular frame...it all sort of blends too much, it doesn't stand out enough. Eyes are difficult (for me).. .. I like what you did with it. Yes, please send me the pic of the tree on the wall. Wow, I bet that's a stand out. (Sorry!) Blessings, Janet PPF
I love your eye studies, because I think they're one of the most important features in a person's face. I also love the book you got from Giggles. It looks like something you'll treasure for a long time. Blessings!
Your eyes are so realistic! Well done!
Lucky to receive Giggles' art!
Thanks for sharing!
I find eyes very hard to draw/paint, and I think you did a beautiful job on this one!
