Having been recently diagnosed, and receiving treatment for age related macular degeneration, I decided to add the eye to my series of paintings entitled Surface Tension. There are so many different kinds of tension we face throughout our lives, and I believe each one is overflowing with beauty if we’ll pause even just for a moment to notice.
This is a painting of an iris, quite close up! The eye is an absolutely amazingly beautiful object, so intricate and spectacular in its design and ability to function…to help us see stuff. From what I understand, and not so long ago, everyone who had this condition went blind within about ten years. Thankfully, treatment today works wonders.
