Eye See You

This is a stunning painting. It was instantly recognizable as a tiger's eye when it popped up in my inbox, something that instantly drew me in, and the color work is exquisite. You really captured the texture of fur in your oils (I'm jealous, oils and I never got along -- or haven't yet, anyway), and I love the liquid feel of the lower eyelid, it helps make this feel so realistic, like it could almost be a macro photograph.

The only reason I took half a star off for the vision (and subsequently the impact) was because I feel like there should be more color, or perhaps a bit more of a shiny quality, to the iris. It feels a bit dull to me, which is the smallest letdown because cat's eyes -- no matter the species or breed -- are completely entrancing.

Overall, this is an incredible piece!!
