Animal Eyes
Equal time for animals!
Here are the eyes from some of the paintings and illustrations I've done.
I love those eyes! You do them so well, Lo. It's great to see them up close like these. We are going to swelter today as well. I am hoping the a/c holds, cuz it's gonna be ugly around here if the power goes out -lol! Stay cool! xox Pam
Animal Eyes are EVEN MORE soulful mirrors...because we do not speak their language...so this is how they communicte to us most clearly.
All of these gorgeous animals have equally gorgeous eyes! And...all done in that UNMISTAKEABLE Lolo Style!
Sending you cooling breezes... the fog has rooled in and out and in again in the past 30 minutes.... trying to blow some to you and all our friends in the Midwest, NE and SE.....
Okay Lo, going out on a limb here: 1. cat 2. cat 3. baby chimp 4. mature chimp/gorilla 5. dog 6. owl 7. bull dog 8. cat 9. wolf or coyote 10. tiger...could be lion
Am I anywhere close??? :-D In from standing in a brief shower! It was WONDERFUL!!!
I thought about your animal eyes when I saw your eyes yesterday! I thought eyes have it yes, but you are the best in capturing the soul in eyes!!!! Also the ostrich came in mind. And I know what I admire most in your work are indeed the eyes. I recognize all eyes and know the painting they belong to , but not that first one.......I can't picture the whole things. I think it is a cat, but not one I think I know.
clever idea to do the animals. y'day was wicked. i bought a small AC and son set it up but it only cooled for about 5 feet of the room. Still, that's where I sat.
I love these beautiful eyes...could stare at them for hours! These could make superb cards just on their own. I've been drawing eyes for years. It's the window to the soul, animal or human...xxx
This is a place where I share my art and my heart. I hope something I create resonates with you in some positive way, whether it be my images, my words or both.
I'm always grateful for your visits and your comments.
If you have time, please browse "Find me here too!" to see more of my art and photos.
If you see an image you like, please ask before using it. All images are copyrighted and property of the artist. Thank you.

Wow, you are really an eye expert. I think I named them all correctly.
Wonderful post Lolo.
Have a great weekend.
I think Anne is right. Great eyes.
Very very cool post!

Such a lovely post - I love to see all those pretty eyes!
I love these! The gorilla in particular ... soulful and full of longing.
clever idea to do the animals. y'day was wicked. i bought a small AC and son set it up but it only cooled for about 5 feet of the room. Still, that's where I sat.
You're not foolin' me,Lo,,,,,
That gorilla is real!
Why, I can even smell the banana breath from here!
:-D
Awesome art,all these eyes!

Love all the eyes of this post and last. And yes, I'm pretty sure I can tell what each of the animals are!
What fun...so expressive and touching!
I think I got them all...but was too lazy to write them down....
You have a way with eyes...now if you could teach me NOSES - I'll be your best friend
Great post. Great eyes. Great fun!
this was so much fun to try to identify! i think i remember all these paintings too.
gorgeous eyes lo, you should teach classses on how to do this so brilliantly!
Awesome art!
How I Make Money Online
The eyes are so beautiful! The colors are so intense and gorgeous, I especially love the green cat eyes on top.
Your eyes have so much expression, both animal and human. The first set of eyes look just like my Maine Coon Cat, Rascal's.
Very expressive. Amazing how you can almost identify every creature from just your sample of eyes. Nice job!! W.C.C.
Ooh - I recognise lots of these - isn't it amazing that we can tell what they are just from the eyes! You clever girl!x
This is so fun! These are beautiful pictures. Fantastic! I think you'd really be interested in this! Endangered Artists
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
I love these beautiful eyes...could stare at them for hours! These could make superb cards just on their own. I've been drawing eyes for years. It's the window to the soul, animal or human...xxx
