love these remind me of peacock feathers
Karin Taylor
replied
thank you so much TA…yes….definitely remind me of that too…my mum was crazy about peacock feathers, we had them in a huge vase…loose ones, plus she had a peacock fan which is encased in glass and hung on the wall….so maybe the peacock feathers got into my psychi :) x

Tropix has a more wild look and feel to it~ the colors, suggests that this eyes, belongs to the wild.. free and wise.. knowing of his/her terrain and environment.. makes me wish that the edges (left and right) are not cropped.. as in, i think it’ll be more beautiful if you allow the lashes to flare out beautifully, like the complete on in Window of the Soul.. =D

fa! hullo, it’s lovely to see your smiling face!
....yes, it was hard because i would have to narrow the gap between the eyes, which took away the gentle appeal….other than that, each eye would have to be reduced in size, and it seemed to lose impact, i regretted cropping the edges too, but ended up i couldn’t see what else could be done ;( I’m glad you like the warm tones, and it is animalistic…in that the eyes could be an animal’s or a human’s….either way, thank you so much fa….it’s interesting that this one feels wilder and more untamed, i think you’re spot on! :)

Ah yes probably, I love warm colours, that’s for sure, maybe because it’s so grey here ;)
