A New Eye Painting : Iridology

This is a new painting in a series that I am doing just for the fun of it and also because it relates to my current theme if Inherent Divinity that uses the eye as a symbol for the divine.

I have always had an interest in alternative healing/heath modalities. Iridology is a mapping of the eye that correlates to the different parts of the body. As I paint these eye portraits, I am seeing the different types of patterns found in the eyes. So much can be "read " in the eyes from these patterns, shapes and color that is found within them.

My plan with this series is to bring some to the gallery I work with and then to offer some through this blog or another that I will create just for sales of small works. This one is 4"x 4" and I am thinking I will offer that size at $125. I am planning on doing some 6"x6" as well and maybe and few 12"x12" for a variety of sizes, colors, and patterns.
Alicia Hunsicker's art is undeniably beautiful. She is an expert at extracting the highly-detailed textures and fibers of the human body, bringing them from darkness, into the light, with a technical precision that rivals any modern-day master.
