Enlightened

Created on circle stretched canvas, kind of small, about 8inches in diameter. 

Acrylic & metallic gold marker with glaze over scenic background and eyes. 
Started as a study in sketchbook: www.instagram.com/p/BTu5jyIDxY…
Some painting in-progress: www.instagram.com/p/BT_jvBUjrO… & www.instagram.com/p/BUCxXnlDMZ…

Inspiration is Alex Garant (queen of double eyes) and Margaret Keane's Big Eyes styles. Also Nosego (www.nosego.com/) because he has a great way of putting such scenic landscapes in abstract motifs.

Labeled "enlightened" because I remember reading about how some artists back in the day - I think it was religous in a country in Asia? I should have saved it - would use multiple eyes to symbolizes a higher sense of awareness. This reminds me of dreaming and breaking from reality.
