The Eye of the Beholder
The eye of the beholder
reveals many mysteries
Like mirrors of infinity,
the layers of perception appear endless.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
The eyes of horses have always fascinated me. When I was inspired to paint this creation, I don’t think I was aware of the multi-layers of complex images that were involved. I was so focused on creating the two horses looking at each other, that I never actually saw the large eye of the horse looking at me… until one day, I looked at the eye from a long distance away… and the power of the gaze stopped me in my tracks.
