Dark or Light....the "eyes" have it.

This week at The Butterfly Effect, they are using my suggested theme of Opposites.

I wanted to keep my page really simple this week, so went for the most obvious of opposites...Dark vs Light, and have used only black and white paint(and a mixture of both).


I was going to do one side mostly black and the other mostly white...but decided instead to show how both are required to create depth of beauty in life.

I did break my b/w rule to add a hint of blue to the eyes....

for a world without contrasts would be a flat and tiresome place....
and the Light of Love could not shine without darkness.

  11. she's fantastic. and she's kind of an optical illusion. As I stare at her I can make her face rise forward with her hair flowing behind her, and I can also make her face fall back with her hair floating up. cool.
