Never Quit Searching

:D gotta love a little texture!

Sensational work

Incredible. You’ve created a real sense of 3D. The texture and tonal shading is brilliant. I love the strength of the painting in contrast with the digital version. And I think the brown eye actually works better.

Bloody brilliant !

I love both …. brilliant work …..

it is brilliant

oh babe this is just fantastic!
how big is it????

This is absolutley unbelievable!!!
i love everything about it, the colour and the texure is amazing!

WOW! I like the painting even MORE than the original piece! And that’s saying a lot, cuz that piece is FANTASTIC!

amazing work!

increadible texture. i’m speechless as to how good this is. instant favorite. bravo.

Wow thanks guys! It means a lot to get that kind of feedback. Paul, this one is about 35cm by 50 but I’d have to measure it next time I’m at tafe where it’s drying to get the exact measurements. I do know its at least 50 on it’s longest axis though because the lecturer requested that as a minimum.

Love this work.. so beautiful..

great work …

thanks!

superb!

cheers!

this piece is world-class. it would stand against any work, anywhere.

i am so very proud of you, and more still that this is YOUR vision, YOUR work.

:D thanks Paul!

Awesome pretty girl behind the scratches! About to do a similar thing for assignment.Hope it turns out as stunning as this!!The texture and colour combinations are really beautiful.

thanks! :D

The depth of this is incredible, fantastic art..

What a creative and beautiful piece of art this is!! Love the texture, lighting and the small reflections of light in the eye. GREAT work!! A wonderful addition to the light and reflection group.

thank you!

just awesum!

cheers!

Wow, this is so beautiful and thoughtful, my respect :)

stunning piece the eys and the textures

:D thank you both kindly!

absolutely brilliant, I like the brown eye better and the texture is fantastic. very strong message together with the title, I think the eye has a very sad expression though, like she has almost given up. very impressive 3Deffect

yes, I tried changing the direction of the eye from looking up into the sky to more across and into the distance.
thank you!

Awesome. Today must be “eye” day. Great image.

really? ..k. cheers!

I like the change in colour to the eye and the flesh seems to have a different impact than the digital version.

Just joined a few minutes ago and felt compelled to comment specifically on your work. Love it. I am an artist with a fascination with eyes. Love the harshness and softness. Your style is similar and inspirational!

:D thanks!

This is beautiful! Its like entrophy…and rusty!

:D thanks!

really draws you in. cool cool !!

thank you!

I’ve been looking through your work for the past half and hour and i’m absolutely awestruck. Your various styles are each beautifully realized and each piece tells its own story…

All of your work is amazing and deserves its own comment, however i have to say this is my favourite. Its wonderful and shows how a little more time and care can make an excellent piece outstanding. Sorry to ramble on, but i’m so impressed with your talent! Really well done.

Awesome work, the textures are perfect

Love it the eye work is great… and the decaying flesh…good contrast between the two

i love this! well done!

wow. this is so stunning! i think it is my favourite eye picture!! beautiful work!

Astonishing detail, especially with the expression in the eye. Beautifully highlighted, amid the coarse oil paste textures. A superb combination.
The strong, powerful orange-red hues, make this a visually striking piece!

outstanding piece.

Superb work! The tones and textures are sublime

This is so gorgeous. Wonderful layers and textures. Well done.

Very powerful in subject design and application!

Fantastic !

Simply awesome work!

SOUL piercing
and very touching …instant favorite
and i like that you change the eye to unify the whole color scheme
i like everything about it
wonderful

never be afraid to make changes…never get to comfortable with one thing….because there always another way to do the same thing but better or lol worser

I am absolutely blown away by your talent…..........!!!!!
I thought the original was good….but WOW.
This takes the cake.

If only I could, I would favourite it twice. This is amazing and I totally agree with Birgitta: your talent blows me away.

Wow! Stunning as!!!

Surreal…I love the texture…great work!!!
