    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.....

    Love,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    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.

    Well dear great post again!!!!

    Have a wonderful day
    ♥♥♥

    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.

    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.

    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
