Nayana, the eye


With this drawing, I join the ranks of famous artists, who never sold their art :-) Well, I am not famous, but here is a drawing I posted on eBay - and no nibbles, alas!

This pen and ink drawing is approx. 1.5 x 1.5", drawn on 4 x6", standard paper. Titled "Nayana, the eye" this drawing depicts the inner eye, cradled deep in one's mind. The one that we must use to understand ourselves. The one, that let's us see how each of us fits into this world. Like the myriad lines in this drawing, we are each unique - imperfect, varied and yet made of the same basic substance. And we are each connected... It only takes the inner eye to understand how we are part of the tapestry we call the world. The style draws from shapes and nuances that fill Indian art. Like all my other drawings, this one incorporates the "Kalka", or the mango shape, that is a basic element of paisley prints.
