Spiritual eye portraits & double eye portraits

"Mother Meera's Eyes", 1 3/8" x 1 3/4", egg tempera on Kelmscott vellum in Venetian glass mosaic easel frame, double eye portrait of Indian saint, Mother Meera 


"Amma's Eyes," 1 3/8" x 1 3/4", egg tempera on Kelmscott vellum in Venetian glass mosaic easel frame, double eye portrait of  Indian saint, Amritanandamayi Ma (available for sale from my website)

Here are two examples of how an eye portrait can also become very spiritual in its tone.  I have portrayed the eyes of two Indian women saints whom I revere, Amritanandamayi Ma and Mother Meera.  These are also examples of double eye portraits, instead of a single eye.

Do you have a favorite saint whose eyes have a special significance for you?
